Prologue:

My name is Jason Ulysses as High Council's file labels me that name. I'm known as the offspring of Tam-Mykola MacLeod, the original cloned copy to the Human named Nikolai. I am Human also known as First One species in servitude towards the manipulative group, the High Council.

Story begins:

I saw a boy child that eerie reminded me of me as seen through the traveler's gated TV within my mind as I sit onto my white stone hard throne chair. That traveler's gate is sanctuary within my mind from the High Council's mind scanning me and ordering me to do things they want me to do such as submitting a sample of myself for cloning or creating off springs. I was in my mind out of disgust of being left behind by the High Council who took one of the cloned Human Toms with them off the planet and out into space.

I yelling "Take me with you!" repeatedly.

I was ignored as a result despite a cloned original copy to the Banshee/Human form freed from containment while I remained into my tube prison.

"Free me!" I yelled in response "Sorry Jason but your too valuable to be freed from containment." I got in response to my comment from Tank the Meritanian blaring into my mind.

I out of desperation retreated into my mind and sat by throne chair eyeing the travelers' gate image like a TV screen showing me scenes I should be aware of. I found I kept on watching to see the scene shift into a male muscular moron fully grown with all white eyes and having long hair and a muscular physique being whipped on the back to my confusion. I frowns feeling confused to see the male get whipped repeatedly over and over while roaring out nonsense sounds of anger to me. I continued to watch the scene shifted to a male human, with face familiar I didn't realize till later twin to Barry's facial appearance. It's assuming that Barry was cloned multiple times despite his clone was appearing to be a healthy Human wearing gonoid animal skin clothes on his form sitting in front of an eater fire with a hut behind him and having brown eyes of a human than of one of all white eyes. The Human male sat staring with his brown eyes at a younger male he saw had all white eyes, with a frown on his face. The male with a bit of tan skin with all white eyes looked at him with his all white eyes that narrowed as if he was glaring. The male's lips were into a frown on his face as he stared at the white eyed male who got up from the campfire in front of him and went into a large hut shutting up the opening closed behind him. The male sigh some sound as he felt a reptile like hand touch his arm followed by fingers tapping in code. He looked at the reptile, I recalled was dubbed Tapper standing at the edge of the clearing with a long stretchable arm stretched in front, hand tapping his arm.

I translated the tapping in code to myself "Greetings, Ted, why must White Eyes be rude to everyone?"

Ted spoke a language I recognized as Megiddo City's language on Aire the planetary world dubbed Summeranna by the High Council "I don't know why. Irina told me she mentioned the subject of mothers to him she saying 'What do you think of mothers?'

White Eyes as he calls himself blurted out the words 'I hate my mother.'

He wouldn't say why when she pressed him for an explanation she saying 'Why are you saying that wording?'"

The Tapper tapped words Ted translated "White Eyes was seen by others hanging around the Tappers' sacred tree and touching it with his hands. He was violent towards us when we tried to shoo him away."

Ted rubbed a hand in his long black hair that had streaks of grey in it. He pulled the collar of his gonoid skin shirt stood up stretching from sitting in front of his hut. He sensed the Tapper had pulled its hand back and was on fours walking towards him from the edge of the clearing. Ted folded his arms as the Tapper reached him and he looked to see White Eyes come out of the hut dressed in only gonoid skin pants with a long sword like knife in its scabbard on his back by a cloth. Ted frowned as White Eyes looked his way and waved a fist at him then walked away walking out of the clearing weaving passed huts scattered around. Ted felt his long gun on his arm and looked to see the Tapper was pressing it into his arm.

Ted took the weapon and felt the Tapper tap "Follow White Eyes, I fear he's up to no good."

He took the hint walking as White Eyes walked into the bushes towards the direction where a large thick towering in the sky tree was above the forest of trees and bushes.

He frowned following White Eyes' trail thinking to him "What are you up to?"

Ted followed White Eyes' trail till he reached a thick tree root that was his waist size leading towards the Tappers' sacred tree. He frowned hearing squawking sounds and broke into a jog running towards the sounds while crashing into the bushes. He ran into a clearing to see two Tappers lying on the ground dripping of blue liquid on their bodies while waving their scaly arms. Ted ran up to the Tappers as one stretched its hand touching him tapping in a code.

He translated "White Eyes attacked us with his weapon when we tried to keep him away from entering the hole in the ground."

The hand removed itself and pointed as Ted looked to see a large hole was in the ground lighted up with glowing balls of light. He ran towards the hole and jumped landing on the ground full of leaves. Glowing balls of light shined brightly illuminating the cave passageway. Frowning Ted got up and darted down the large cave passageway. He heard sounds of roaring and increased his speed reaching a large cavernous cave to see White Eyes fighting with two Tappers with his large knife swinging at them. Ted could see in the middle of the cave was a bloody red thin root that was sticking from the ground reaching the top of the cave. Scattered around in the walls were shining glowing balls of light illuminating the cave.

Ted shouted "White Eyes! Cease your attacks now!"

White Eyes he saw instead of answering him cut down the two Tappers and started speed walking towards the root.

Ted shouted again "White Eyes! Stop or I'll shoot!"

White Eyes turned around and yelled "I'm not letting them control us!"

Ted frowned at the words as White Eyes turned around into a jog running towards the root. He aimed his gun at White Eyes' back as the man reached the root and swung his large knife. He fired the gun with marksmanship and stiffened to see a red bloody splotch appear on the back of White Eyes in the left side. He dropped the gun and ran towards White Eyes who dropped the knife falling to his knees.

Ted reaching White Eyes' form grabbed the man who spoke in a far away voice "My place will be taken I'll see to it."

He frowned at the words as White Eyes closed his eyes and sensed his breathing stop as the man's body went limp giving up to death. He felt a hand touch his shoulder and looked to see a Tapper standing at the entrance to the cave.

The Tapper tapped "Leave him, we'll handle the burial. I suggest you leave too."

Ted dropped White Eyes' body which slid towards the ground and walked towards the Tapper who held up his gun. With a frown he took the gun and left the cave walking by Tappers and reached the hole above him. He stood as two pairs of Tapper hands thrust themselves at him from above which he put the gun via strap on his back and grabbed the hands. The Tappers hoisted him out of the hole and let go of him. He walked passed them towards the camp where the others were gathered laughing around an eater eating their food as the sun began setting on the horizon. Frowning Ted went to his hut and placed his gun into a metal box locking it with a key chain he put around his neck. He left his hut to join the others who abruptly went silent seeing him.

A female he saw stood up and spoke "White Eyes?"

Ted spoke "Irina, dead, I shot him as he tried to attack the Tappers' sacred tree."

There were gasps around the camp's eater as one of them spoke "Well we don't have to worry about him and his rudeness anymore."

Ted heard nervous laughter among the group as the speaker a male spoke again "I think Diana can stop being afraid after what he did to her."

They all looked at Diana a female with long brown hair whose green eyes were staring at the eater with a far away expression on her face. Ted walked towards Diana and squatted next to her putting a hand on her shoulder of her cloud colored shawl covering her form.

He spoke "Diana, it's alright. White Eyes is dead he can't hurt you any more. You're safe now."

He kneeled and pulled Diana towards his form holding her in a hug as she burst into tears crying away. Ted kept his arms around Diana as the spoken male got up and kneeled next to him gesturing with his hands. He gently pushed Diana towards the male who wrapped his arms around the woman leaning his short black haired head on hers.

He could see the male's mouth moving as he whispered words to Diana words unheard by himself whom I lip read "I submit to your authority to do whatever you want mating wise in the privacy of my domain."

Ted watched as Diana shook her head as the spoken male got up with her and escorted her towards a hut where they went inside it with closing up the opening. He sighed loudly as the others stared at the eater lost in thought. With a frown he got up from the camp's eater and went to his hut as a Tapper waddled on two feet in front of him.

He stared at the yellow eyes of the Tapper who reached a hand and tapped on his chest "Thank you for saving what was sacred to us."

The Tapper removed its hand and waddled away going into the forest. Ted yawned and went into his hut shutting the opening. He in the darkness took off his boots and felt for his blankets. With a sigh he got in the blankets and laid down adjusting his pillow.

He spoke out loud "I wonder what the future will bring?"

Then he closed his eyes falling asleep.

I continued to watch as the camp's ground was changed from huts of gonoid skin and leaves to plastic tents complete with zippers. I kept on watching as the land near the ocean appeared to get developed into a big city with tall towering buildings. I recognized the Island City Nation as Megiddo as Megiddo's city of Elizabethan town in Aire as the name is referred nowadays. I'm not entirely sure of why's I'm getting this location into my TV screen. I sighed as I continued to watch as the scene shifted towards a female I recognized as Diana who was groaning loudly with abdomen swollen. I frowned as I continued to watch as Diana groaned feeling spasms of pain racking through out her. She groaned lying on the bed of the hospital, hand gripping a familiar male's hand in a tight grip. Her naked body glistened with sweat as her abdomen was swollen with child she labored to push out of her.

She gritted her teeth as another spasm of pain arrived followed by a feeling which she groaned out "Edie! I have to push now!"

The doctor in his blue scrubs went from pacing to stand at the front of her examining her.

He spoke "She's right Edie, the baby is coming."

Edie the male accompanying Diana was standing at her side helped her in a sitting position as she bent her legs pushing the baby out of her.

The doctor spoke "That's it, push, and push."

Diana relaxed when she heard a squealing cry of a baby along with the urge to push end and heard the doctor speak "It's a boy, the baby's a boy."

She felt Edie kiss her on the cheek as she sighed while the doctor examined the baby.

The doctor spoke "What are you going to call him, Tip?"

Diana lied down on the bed with Edie pulling a blanket over her as she and he stared at the Tapper standing in the corner watching the scene with yellow eyes. The Tapper stretched out his stretchable arm and touched the doctor with his reptile like hand tapping in code.

The doctor spoke "Says call him Jason."

Diana nodded her head in agreement as she held up her hand and Edie placed his hand in it.

They both shook hands as she spoke "Thanks for your time with me."

Edie nodded his head as the doctor wrapped Jason in a blanket and left the room carrying the baby while being followed by Tip.

Edie spoke "It was nice knowing you, Diana."

Diana nodded her head as Edie left the room closing the door. She turned her head to stare at a Tapper, a female named Dap standing in another corner that waddled walking towards the bed next to hers.

Diana spoke "I took a liking to Edie but breeding comes first."

Dap reached out a hand touching Diana's arm tapping "It is common for Suri breeding pairs to like each other after being together for a period of Suri months."

Diana sighed as she spoke "Well Jason is going to have a wonderful life being raised by Tip like you raised me."

Diana yawned stretching her arms as Dap sat in the chair next to the bed.

She spoke "I'm tired, I'll get some sleep."

She yawned again falling asleep but this time woke up feeling like needing to push again.

Diana grunted as Dap tapped onto her head question "What was going on?" she ignored.

Diana heard a wailing sound of a baby to find Dap tapping in code onto her head "It's a girl, odd that you would have two in the pouch. I'll get the doctor. So sleep now."

She obeyed to dream she was in the camp she was in a time ago surrounded by tents with simmering camp fires. Frowning Diana walked among the empty tents her feet leading her towards a cliff over looking a lake. She looked at the ground while hearing the bushes rumble behind her. Diana spun around to face with a gasp gasping for breath seeing coming out of the bush with his all white eyes narrowed. She gasped backing up till the edge of the cliff met her feet.

White Eyes she saw stared at her and spoke "I have come."

She frowned staring at him as he advanced towards her with his hands in fists as he continued speaking "They won't stop me this time for I control more than just life itself."

White Eyes she saw stopped walking to look around with his head then he looked at her then continued walking towards her.

Diana gasped shaking staring at him as he added speaking "I am the ruler of them all for they do my bidding. Their control will end for I'll see to it."

She frowned as White Eyes stopped walking to charge towards her. She screamed as he reached her grabbing her form knocking them off the cliff falling towards the lake down below. The water rose up to reach her held in White Eyes arms then Diana jerked her eyes open to stare at the white ceiling of the hospital room. She felt Dap's scaly hand on her forehead rubbing and looked at the Tapper.

She spoke gasping "I had a nightmare."

Diana raised her hand and Dap removed her hand from her forehead to her raised hand gripping it.

She spoke "The nightmare was of White Eyes talking words that don't make sense to me."

Dap released her hand to tap on her palm "You've been having nightmares of the Chopper since his passing."

Diana spoke "Yes, I know but this time his words made it seem like he came back from the passing as some ruler with control."

Dap tapped "The Chopper has passed. He can't hurt you any more like he did when he was alive."

She sighed as she spoke "Dap, I don't want to have any more dreams of him."

Dap rubbed her hand then tapped "I'll see that the doctor gives you something to help you sleep."

Diana smiled a small smile and spoke "Thank you. I need it."

Dap released Diana's hand and got up from the chair crawling towards the door on fours, leaving the room.

Diana frowned staring at the ceiling and thought to herself "White Eyes is dead, Diana. You don't need to worry about him anymore."

She sighed loudly and added to herself "At least Jason won't know about this."

Diana smiled to herself thinking that comment.

I by memory recalled "The islands of Megiddo's history, it was during the times when the Humans lived on Megiddo suffering from an unknown sickness while isolated from other nations or other Terran natives coming to visit out of fear of the illness catching them. The Tappers evolved into the something else once the sickness was affecting them. The sickness wound up cured by babies born with the immunity to it but it wasn't obvious till the babies were full grown is when the cured status was revealed."

I saw Egypt in her brown eagle form hovering or floating besides the monitor making a gesture of quiet a sign of a finger over human lips' imagery to frown shifting to focus onto the TV monitor I assumed it was. I watched as Jason the baby grew up into a full grown adult I discovered myself as that male. I as Jason a young man of twenty rolled over in bed with my eyes closed sleeping. I dreamed of walking in a forest among trees and bushes till I reached an opening in the bushes and walked though. I saw standing away facing me was an older man with long black hair, tan skin with all white eyes wearing gonoid skin clothing and a long knife in a scabbard attached to him on his back. The white eyed man was standing on a cliff over looking a lake with arms folded. I stared at the man with a range of emotions on my face despite an emotion of recognition.

The white eyed man spoke "Good about time you arrived so come here and stand in front of me."

I felt compelled to obey till I was standing in front of the man identical to my height we're both on the tall size despite balking to play basketball that sport.

The man placed his hands on the top of my head and spoke "You will find a female to mate with for you must father a child."

I stared with confusion as the man removed his hands to fold his arms and continued "Once that is done you'll have control over whatever you desire."

The scene went black as I woke up with a gasp as the light of the sun shined from the window covered by golden curtains that were partly opened at the edge of the bed. I shook my head into a no gesture rubbing a hand through my always annoying long black hair that balked being cut. I found my efforts to cut that hair was balked by my raiser Tip and found my hair balked being cut no matter how I tried chopping it. I rolled onto my stomach to stare at the window at the head of the bed. With a frown I yanked the blanket over my head and closed my eyes only to feel the blanket taken from the bed with such force. I groaned loudly as I felt the Tapper, a male named Tip, tapping onto my back with his furry hand me seeing the hand was furry this time.

I recalled to myself "The Tappers went through a growth phase of developing fur and wings of a bird which they turned out to devolved into flying gonoid dubbed Ryder Hawks that are known for transporting people all over the place once within their claws. The Megs or Drainers came after that."

I translated Tip's message to myself "It's time to get up and get ready for work. You have a job to do and you need to do it."

I rolled onto my back opening my eyes as Tip removed his hand. With a groan I got up from the bed yanking off my pajama pants revealing underwear shorts for Tip always insisted on underwear and never nudity around him. I went to the dresser next to the wall and yanked out clothes which consisted of jeans and a sweat shirt top which I put on. Tip handed me a large black vest which I put on over my upper body's form. With a frown I could see Tip had in his other hand was a large hood which I groaned taking it to put on my head. The hood covered my head settling onto my forehead showing my face but covering my hair entirely like other males' hooded attire.

"Males were ordered by Tappers to wear that fashion which died out once they fully devolved into Ryder Hawks." I recalled to myself.

With a groan I walked out of my bedroom followed by Tip waddling behind me the Tappers' walk becoming Penguin waddling. I went down the stairs of the condo down the hallway towards the small kitchen unit where I hauled out a drink bottle from the refrigerator. I'm on a liquid diet and unable to take in nourishment besides liquid drinks of herbal tea than anything else with an occasionally milk or strawberry milk drink.

I uncapped the drink bottle of herbal and drank while feeling its taste yucky to me and I felt Tip tapping on my back message saying "Drink it all up, Jason."

I paused from drinking to groan loudly out "No it's tastes yucky but I'll drink the herbal tea drink anyway." I continued drinking.

Once finished I dumped the bottle in the recycle box in the small closet next to the kitchen unit and walked down the hallway towards the front door. I sighed as I unlocked the front door and yanked it open walking outside gently closing the door.

Tip's policy involves "Don't slam the door it's rude!"

I walked pass condo units to the edge of the road where others like I were standing in a group. I could see the males were wearing vests and hoods covering their heads like I while the females were uncovered. I folded my arms frowning as a female around my age joined the group. I stared at the female who had long brown hair in a tail while wearing a long sleeve purple dress with flat shoes on her feet by compulsion to stare. I kept my eyes onto her as the bus rumbled down the road to stop in front of the group. I followed the group onto the bus and sat myself next to the female in a two person seat despite sounds of disapproval were heard. Males were required to sit separately from females despite pairing happening for that.

The female spoke "I noticed you staring at me so you got a name?"

I spoke "The name is Jason."

The female held up her hand and I took it as she spoke "The name is Luna, nice to meet you, Jason."

I brought her hand to my lips and kissed it while hearing her sigh like marking her as traditionally done for males picking females for mating.

Luna spoke "You'll be my first."

I spoke "So will you."

The bus rumbled as I added "Where do you work? I work at the Bradlees store in the stock room in Camden."

Luna spoke "I work at Bradlees too at the jewelry counter. You haven't seen me because I was a transfer from another Bradlees store in Yorkville to this one in Camden."

I mentally thought to myself as Luna snuggled close to me, I putting an arm around her "It's going to take forever before we can hook up as the Tappers call us mating rituals for it."

I didn't say anything towards Luna regarding my thought instead kept my mouth shut. I sighed once the bus arrived to the shopping complex where Bradlees' store was and followed Luna out into the plaza towards the store's entrance.

I found the scene changed to show a naked me sighed as I lay in the bed with a naked Luna laying next to me asleep we appearing to be resting from a mating ritual. I didn't feel anything involving that scene instead found me watching the mating by Travelers' gate scene instead of myself posing as that male.

I heard Jason thinking to himself "At least I have what I want in this miserable life at the moment."

I found myself as Jason who closed his eyes and dreamed myself walking in the forests of trees and bushes till I reached an opening in the bushes and walked through. Standing away was the familiar man with all white eyes whose arms were folded.

The white eyed man spoke "Good she will carry to full term, come here."

I walked forwards to stand in front of the man who placed hands over my eyes while speaking "Hide and reveal only to those under your control."

I frowned at the man's words as the man removed his hands from covering my open eyes.

The man spoke "Think your thoughts and they will hear it serving you well."

I stared at the man with confusion who added "Don't speak of this to the Tappers, they won't understand and will try to put you down."

I formed confusion onto my face as the man continued speaking "Their control must end, you'll see to it."

The man's form changed to a thick as my arm tree root going from the ground to the top of a large cave with glowing balls in the walls.

I heard the man's voice speak "This is what you must destroy. Use whatever forces to do this but it must be destroyed. Their control must end now."

I opened my eyes as the light of the sun shined in the bare window of the room bare of anything but a large mattress like bed I and Luna were lying on with blankets covering us. Frowning I sighed as Luna yawned opening her eyes and stretched out her arms. I stared at her as she rubbed a hand on my cheek in a caring gesture and got up from the bed. I watched as she picked up her discarded clothes and began putting them on she's not wearing an underwear for underneath her skirt and appeared to have balked the bra as it's called undergarment for females.

I stared at her as she spoke "Shouldn't you be doing the same, Jason? We have jobs and needs to attend to."

I got up from the bed stretching my arms and grabbed my clothes off the floor putting them on.

I frowned as I stared at Luna with pleading as seen who gave me an eye wink towards me before adding "I'll see you around. Thanks for your time and service."

I felt dejected getting that comment from Luna. I formed a frown to see her walk out of the room which I followed to the front door. I found my way blocked by a Tapper who restrained me as Luna walked towards the bus stop from the looks of it. I felt annoyance take hold to glare at the Tapper restraining me with powerful restraint of hands on my arms from behind and keeping me rooted to the spot annoying me. I twisted my form to glare at the Tapper with annoyance who restrained me ironclad. I looked away to spot Luna getting onto a bus appearing to be a van like an ambulance from the looks of it while driven by a male with smaller eyes while wearing a uniform that seemed familiar to me. I saw the vehicle being driven away with lights flashing above like an ambulance despite I'm not sure of why's she's taking that ambulance for mating with me.

I gave up a roar "Sod off!"

I wretched myself free from the Tapper's handed grips to twist my form glaring with anger running through me.

I got the Tapper tapping onto my chest "Pairing between Suri is for breeding only."

I growled a nonsense sound at the word Suri used by Tappers towards me and my human species Luna was also a part of. I glared with anger running through me waved a hand fisted while eyeing the Tapper. I stomped away and only to get my arms grabbed from behind with such force me resisting. I wound up thrust into the apartment building's entrance by the Tapper using strong strength to restrain me. I glared as the Tapper waddled inside the building blocking the doorway and let me go.

I snarled out loudly "Explain this now, Tapper! I want to go home!"

I glared at the Tapper whose hands thrust material onto me I felt from the feeling was the familiar hood and vest making me growl angrily. I found my efforts to get outside without either one on thwarted by the Tapper who kept up the blockade.

I snarled "Sod off!" an angry insult term instead of the traditional term of "Bugger!"

I got thrust on the vest and the hood before finding my way out of the building no longer blocked. I darted towards the bus stop only to feel Tapper's hands grabbing me from behind and tossing me backwards in a long throw. I wound up getting my back onto the grass as the Tapper released me. I distantly felt a needle prick onto my neck I'm not sure of that painful status.

I glared as the Tapper tapped onto my forehead making me annoyed "That mood is not appropriate for Surians to have so dropped it now!"

I exhaled a breath to kneel as if needing to do despite the Tapper's use of Surians for males and Suria for females including Suri for my species. I shut my eyes and forced me to mediate willing myself to be calm despite a feeling of falling asleep slumped over onto the ground.

I saw clearly in my mind was the all white eyed male who spoke "I warned you about the Tappers having control over us.

They call us Suri which is their language for 'Savage.'

It's another name for primitive species. They control us actually."

I came to from the dream to feel a hand whack me on the back of my head shaking me of the dream I finding myself slumped over onto the grass and appearing to have fallen asleep.

I spoke as I felt the whacking by a Tapper continue "Alright I'm up and awake. I fell asleep just to calm myself down. Excuse me I need to take the bus."

I got up and felt my form whine in pain from the kneeling as assumed when's it's involved myself through a needle jabbing test including private giving up the required substance for Luna to get pregnant.

"Its sunset instead of sun overhead as thought." I saw of the sky looking somewhat partially dark.

I got from the Tapper tapping onto my back "You're walking home for sleeping and being rude towards me. Forget the bus. Don't try to get a ride from anyone period and obey me when I say walk now!"

I gave the Tapper a glare and started walking towards the bus stop only to feel hands grab my arms from behind. I found myself thrust into a direction on the sidewalk away from the apartment's building and away from the bus stop. I felt annoyance take hold kept on walking in the direction as indicated which was all over the place through the jungle of the forest of trees till the moon was highly glaring. I kept on feeling Tappers' hands remove themselves in one area only to get another pair getting onto my arms. The hands wound up keeping me thrust in directions I was to walk to my home.

I grumbled to myself thinking "whose idea was it to have us be controlled by the Tappers anyway?"

I heard nothing in answer to my question mentally added "I think I'll ask Tip about this question once I get the chance to. But first I got to get home and make it seem its curiosity talking."

I found the Tappers' control over me walking home continued even when I was getting tired from walking. I found myself forced to walk a lengthy route to my home that suspiciously felt like walking in a circle in the forest over and over. I got home fine but very tired and found the time was one o'clock in the morning when I was finally freed to get home.

I grumbled to myself mentally adding "I don't care how for I'll see if the Tappers' control ends period. I'm so sick of it."

I remembered from memory of myself grumbled to me of that thinking as I lay in bed with the sunlight blaring from the open curtained window. I realizing the scenes was a part of my memories.

I recalled Tip once I got home tapped onto my foot as I removed the head and vest cover gear "You're going straight to your room now. You're staying there for the remainder of the night. I'll tell you when you can leave so get going now."

I had managed to get into my bedroom to crash into bed noticing the time was two o'clock in the morning only to be woken up at sunrise of five o'clock in the morning by Tip thrusting the blanket aside and tapping onto my back "Get up now! You have a job to do at Bradlees! So go do it now!"

I found myself not well rested instead had feet pain from walking in my dress shoes instead of my sneakers for work despite my legs whined in pain.

I found Tip balked my efforts to put on my sneakers by tapping "Those shoes aren't appropriate for work so put something else on."

I wound up getting the sneakers snatched from my hands by Tip who held them in some arm stretchable move above him.

That despite my efforts to get them and repeatedly getting tapping messages "Wear your dress shoes. Sneakers aren't appropriate for work. You know this, Jason."

I found myself forced to agree by putting on my dress shoes which were heeled boots and grimaced from the pain as I got thrust the vest and hood. I put them on and slow walked down the stairs only to get pushed with such force that I had to grab the banister to glare at Tip.

Tip tapped onto my arm "I didn't say that you could be late for work. So get out of here to the bus now. Don't have me order you to walk home I know you hated doing it. I know that you're in pain from your shoes so get to work now."

I obeyed as if needing to do it to find Luna not around at the bus stop despite showing up at work at six o'clock in the morning.

I frowned wondering to myself "What did those stinking Tappers say towards her anyway?"

I heard nothing in answer to my question took the bus to work while grimacing as I thought "This is going to be a long day."

I continued to watch while noticing Egypt nearby floating appearing to be watching the TV monitor. I found Egypt was ignored by the Guardian of Life and Death with form twin to Jinks Horus Montreal by facial appearance and had twin long hair as mine. The Guardian or Tam-Mykola MacLeod as he's labeled the dedicated first clone of Nikolai dubbed Mordecai by the High Council has habitually appeared during my TV watching to boot me off the chair by grabbing my shoulders and yanking me off to stand next to him. I found myself standing next to Mordecai as he should be called who appeared to be keeping his eyes onto the TV as if trying to see who I really was. I kept watching as I found Jason found out what the white eyed man meant by control. I again acting like Jason while watching out the window of my room on a day off from work watched the birds flutter in the tree.

I thought to myself "Can't one of these birds land onto my window still and sit for me to stare at it closer?"

I stiffened as a bird as if hearing me obeyed to sit onto my window still pecking itself on the feathers. It appeared to be grooming its red feathers by the looks of it as I stared watching the bird.

I saw a squirrel get onto the tree as I thought to myself "I think I control the gonoids but I got to see what's it is."

Gonoids is the acceptable term instead of the insulting Human term for animal.

I thought "Squirrel I see sitting in the tree to climb my window screen."

The squirrel I saw tossed itself out of tree and landed on my window still to climb my window screen.

I thought "I can communicate to the gonoids as in telling them to do things."

I decided "I think I'll go out for a walk."

I went down the stairs heading towards the front door to swing it open along with walking out only to feel hands of a Tapper grab my arms from behind yanking me inside in a fast move with an "Ooh!"

"Tip" I figured "Caught me without the hood and vest again."

I habitually would sneak outside without the hood and vest something Tip kept on catching me. I getting Tip tapping me onto my arm while thrust the vest and hood.

Tip telling me "You're to wear hood and vest whenever you go out period."

I obeyed to put on my hood and vest which I stomped outside. I went to the forest where the Tapper's sacred tree was standing tall towering over other trees. I gave the tree a glare and yanked off my hood and vest thrusting them onto the ground with a foot stomping the material. I felt relieved stomped a foot onto the clothing items.

I mentally called within my mind "Lead me to a weapon to destroy the Tappers' sacred tree now!"

I repeated my order twice to get met by a Fox all red looking from the looks of it that groomed itself in front of me.

I added "Lead me to the weapon while I'll follow you now."

Fox, I saw obeyed, led me to a tree with a hole in the trunk near the ground and paws it. I reached in the hole and discovered a wrapped bundle in a gonoid skin like blanket. I examined the bundle to see it's containing a knife that looks long as my arm while handle is hand length. I grabbed the knife to grunt as I got a painful headache I later learned involving Meritanians' mind scanning me to remember something despite sensing Jason was clueless of their existence. Headache as I saw in my mind or TV screen is of the white eyed male attacking Tappers while in a cave with a blood red root nearby with the knife. I continued to see the male with white eyes succeeded in cutting down the Tappers and going towards the root with knife swinging.

I heard "White Eyes!"

I saw a blood red splotch on the back of the male before he can swing the knife at the tree.

"White Eyes" I figured to myself "Must be his name."

I continued to see White Eyes fell toward the ground.

I heard sounding in my mind a voice speak "The Tappers' control us with their sacred tree. The tree must be destroyed."

I later recognized the voice belonging to a Meritanian named Kiddy speaking that towards Jason himself. I kept on watching as I saw myself still acting as Jason act angry while remembering my punishment of walking home from a location in the city a lengthy walk by Tappers' punishing me to do it. I gave up huffs of breath and swung the weapon in an arch method. I kept on swinging the weapon despite growling angrily.

I snarled out loud "Sod off! I don't care how for I'll see that you're control ends!"

I went stomping through the forests making a beeline towards the sacred tree despite squawking Tappers blocking my way and getting cut down by my weapon. I acting like I knew how to use it. I found my effort to reach the sacred tree further thwarted. I stood in the clearing holding the long knife in my hand. I growled glaring at the two Tappers standing in front of me still keeping their stretchable hands out in front of them towards me. I discovered efforts to enter the boundary marked by the Tapper guards on their sacred tree blocked by them. They kept on thrusting their hands onto me and avoiding my attempts to cut them in the process. I glared at the Tappers as I heard a sound of familiar noise sounding behind me that suspiciously sounded like a handgun cocking.

This was followed by a male voice speaking "Give up the knife or I'll shoot."

I flicked the knife till I was holding it by the blade and held it up towards the Tappers one snatched it from my hand cutting the area I noticing black blood of a cloned status. I'm not sure of why's Jason was a clone despite the black blood traditionally seen from cloned copies.

"Sod off!" I said as I raised my hands and turned around to face a male with entirely grey white hair holding a small hand gun pointed at me from his holster.

The male spoke "Oh dear, White Eyes fathered a son. His face is the same as the Chopper."

I growled eyes narrowing at the male who added gesturing with the gun "Turn around."

I obeyed turning around and heard a twig snap from behind me followed by pain on the back of my head knocking me unconscious.

I dreamed as seen by the traveler's gate image of myself of walking in the forests of trees and bushes till I reached the cliff where the white eyed man White Eyes stood with arms folded.

White Eyes spoke "The Tappers found out who you are. This doesn't matter anyway but come here to me."

I walked towards the male with a glare on my face willingly staring till I was in front of him. I saw my expression on my face on the travelers' gate image was twin to a confessing one's crime glare. I stared at the man who placed a hand on my chest and speaking words, in gibberish words not understood.

Words sounded like "'Ay Kabaiya!'" which translates "Death cannot touch us for the war has begun!"

Then White Eyes removed his hand to fold his arms and spoke my understandable language of basic "Use what you control to do your mission, remember that."

The scene went black as I was compelled out of my mind towards the tube status to float into it despite a Meritanian's voice blaring at me "Nighty night, Smarty!"

I think I passed out unconscious to dream a dream or memory or something not sure of what it was. I dreamed as I saw in my mind I woke up with a start finding myself lying on a mattress with a blanket over my form. The blanket was brown colored and covering me from head to foot like mummy wrappings. Ugh annoying. Lights overhead shined dimly illuminating the room that was grey and padded as I removed the blanket. I sat up and looked around to see three walls were padded solid while the forth wall facing the foot of the bed was consisted of metal bars. Standing behind them I saw was a Tapper who stretched a hand between the bars and touched my freed from blankets body and legs to tap.

I translated "Jason, do you know who your parents are?"

I spoke "I was raised by a Tapper named Tip."

The Tapper tapped "Tests were done on you, which proves you're a match to being the offspring of Mordecai and an unknown female."

I realized why the Meritanians put me down out of my mind asleep was to give me information involving my points of origins.

I growled eyes narrowing at the Tapper who continued "Do you know the word disease?"

I spoke "Is that what I am?"

I heard a large cat's snarling sound as the Tapper tapped "No that's not what you are. Disease is another word for sickness affecting you."

I spoke "The sickness is you controlling us with your tree."

I'm not entirely sure of why's I said that wording despite the Meritanians were trying to tell me something by Tank blaring "Think Jason!"

I came from the depths of sleepiness and again got into my mind watching by traveler's gate of myself lying in a jail cell arguing against a Tapper.

I arguing "I should be freed from jail!"

The Tapper argued back "You're in denial about something so acknowledge that Father/offspring connection!"

I realized the Meritanians were again manipulating me out of my mind to the tube which I spoke in response "Tank, you trying to tell me I'm not a clone born of a tube but born of a female?"

Tank gave snickering like laughter in response followed by again thrust into my mind to find Mordecai seated into my seat he saying "The Tapper's fingers' message was 'No that's not true.'"

I heard from Tank in response who spoke "You're in denial, Tommy boy."

Mordecai spoke in response "Alright Jason's my son born through a female named Jacinda?"

I heard that familiar large cat's growl in response followed by hearing from Tank "Cut that talk Mordecai. You're making Thurin upset again."

I figured from memory that Thurin was a cat like humanoid muscular moron always trapped into a tube that's connected to a volcano that would cause the planet to overheat and kill all life in it. Hence Thurin is always in his tube and never taken out.

"Ugh." I said in response "Jacinda is Thurin's wife name, I right, Tank?"

"Right as rain" I got from Tank who added "So think Jason."

I obeyed to speak in response "Mordecai is my father who he donated his services to a female and was implanted carrying me?"

I found Mordecai in response next to me giving off a faint groaning noise and putting his hand onto his cheek like he was sad to get bad news.

I found Thurin kept the growling noises sounding of "War has begun." as I spoke loudly "Jeez Thurin what's going on with you?"

"I like to know." Said Mordecai as I heard Thurin spoke "I'm not telling you, my son."

I figured that Thurin was not in a talkative mood continued to eye the TV screen involving myself posing as Jason. I again found myself thrust out of my mind and into my tube to again hear Thurin's voice sounding like he was telling a joke by the laughter sound.

I got into my mind a memory of myself arguing with a High Council member I recognized as one of the Human Toms saying "Serve the High Council. It's good for you."

I saying "I don't want to serve that manipulative group who don't know anything involving honoring and preserving nature and not interfering with people's lives."

I recalled Human Tom saying that to me while contained into his tube next to mine as I was eternally contained into my tube. I discovered that Human Tom who talked to me was later taken out and taken with the High Council to off planet leaving me alone. I figured from memory I gave the Tapper a representative of someone a glare as I in denial about something didn't respond to the Tapper's wording.

The Tapper indicating "You're to acknowledge your father."

I laid my form down me acting as Jason and shut my eyes to thrust the blanket up to my chest despite later feeling the blanket wrapping around my front like a mummy style. I shut my eyes to dream of a male dressed like White Eyes but had golden sun colored eyes of a gonoid while appearing to look Suri sitting near a campfire not looking familiar that appeared to notice me looking. The male was twin to Barry the compeller and teller of the Meritanians' joke status by the looks of his face.

The male spoke "Come sit with me, Jason, on the log. I have a story to tell you."

I obeyed to do that dreaming obeyed to sit onto the log next to the male to frown staring at the male thinking to myself "What does Barry want now?"

Whenever Barry wanted to contact me he'll give me this scenario by dreaming status of him asleep contacting people with his All Seeing One God ability.

Barry spoke "Suri arrived to this planetary world by ship crashing into it. Tappers are hiding watching Suri and don't make contact. Suri's survivors of the ship populate a city with buildings already there. One of them born is a Surian named Jason. He has admitted from early age senses the Tappers but is unaware of what they are. Jason as a late teenager senses that the Tappers are a life form and seeks them out in a forest near a tree that is tower over the other trees. Tappers meet Jason who is shocked to see them. He figures out their tapping on him with their hands is code which is how they communicate to him. Jason gets the Tappers to stop hiding and gets them to show themselves to the Suri. Suri are detected to have range of emotions but accept Tappers. Suri started getting sick with forms changing into animalistic people.

The animalistic people are called Sumer which is our language for 'Savage'.

Tappers' blood acts as medical cure saves Suri.

Suri accepts Tappers as their 'rulers' dominating their life.

The Tappers know the planet and how to survive on it. Jason has a Surian who is raised by a Tapper named Tip. Jason gets old and passes away but Tappers don't forget him. Tappers pass the knowledge of the first contact among each other but don't share it with the Suri who forget about it. Tappers keep mental records of Jason and record of Jason's descendants. The line continues with a Surian named White Eyes for his eyes-"

I saw in the dream it got interrupted by Mordecai appearing into eyesight snarling loudly "Enough of this mental talk to Jason, now Barry! Quit the joke of that Suri world thing and get to the point of Jason's memories now!"

I woke up with a gasp in my tube again back into my mind watching a scene I finding Mordecai's hand on top of my forehead while I was on his seat that removed himself in a fast move.

I got up with a glare of accusation in my eyes to glare at Mordecai who snarled in response "Tom Mindbender Thunder through Nikolai is your father hence myself was cut off from fathering off springs soon after it was discovered I was sick with a medical ailment by General Wickers himself. He cut me off as a result of that sicknesses and didn't tell Thurin that hence Thurin is furious with that joker status at the moment and being reminded of the High Council's trickery. The High Council used a clone of his son, Nikolai, which is myself to be raised by Thurin something General Wickers the medical doctor discovered I was a clone and cut me off as a result. I haven't been able to father off springs despite given the urges for mating with females or males whichever is suitable for me. Ugh."

I didn't say a word in response instead walked through the TV screen and discovered myself back into the tube status. I was disgusted to hear the news from Mordecai himself despite Meritanians putting me to sleep again to my annoyance.

I glared at the male with the handgun holstered onto his hip who added "Tip, I got a better idea involving Jason to get your point of view in this conflict! Now get him out of that jail cell!"

I got up as Tip I assumed was the Tapper obeyed to get the bars open and backed up which I walked out still glaring at the male. I did on the way stomp my foot onto that Tapper's furry foot on purpose in anger towards them.

The male spoke "The name is Ted. I know your name is Jason by Tip telling me that. So put this ring on your right hand on the middle finger now."

I exhaled a breath and found Tip tapping onto Ted he assumed was the male's name in some rushed tapping move. I grimaced as Ted gave Tip a glare of yellow golden eyes of a Compeller to his shock looking twin to Barry's evil eyed glare the High Council would whine about while gently removing Tip's tapping hand off his chest.

I wasn't spared the glare as I frowned inwardly as Ted added while still flaring his golden eyed look "Back off Tip now! I know what I'm doing! Believe me I have thought that action out fully the moment I met Jason for the first time!"

I got thrust a ring of golden color which I obeyed to put it on feeling myself nervous from Ted's glaring expression aimed at Tip who quit the golden eyed glare.

I formed a grimace on my face as Ted spoke "Follow me now, Jason. Tip, keep the Tappers off of us till I tell you when they can get a hold of him."

I frowned forming it on my face to wordlessly follow Ted out of the jail cell feeling Tip's hands onto the back of my arms. I found the hands remove themselves followed by another set of hands touch me there. I and Ted traveled out of the building to outside I paused from walking to feel the hands' off of me. I sighed seeing I was in a bustling metropolis city from the looks of it indicating New York City. The city was always having tall towering buildings overhead that appeared to block out the sun. I wordlessly followed Ted who kept giving me a golden eyed glare whenever I stopped to look around and catch my breath. Ted, I saw had me walk fast through the city to a building that appeared to be temple of worship where waddling Tappers were walking in and out. I frowned as the Tappers ignored Ted to get to the entrance blocked by two Tappers' holding hands out onto both of us.

I frowned as Ted spoke "Tappers, your permission to enter."

The Tappers, I saw allowed us to enter the temple I found myself unable to look around by the darkness of an eye wear mask covering the area despite not sure of what Ted was doing in there. I felt Tappers' hands touching my arms manipulating me with jerking moves throughout like they were nervous of something. I found myself freed of the eye wear mask and discovered I was led to a small chapel like room with multiple candles scattered around. I frowned as I was let go and pushed inside to notice in the middle of the room is a glass coffin like box.

I heard from Ted finding the male next to him "Go look."

I obeyed which I saw lying in glass box was a male with brown eyes open that appeared to be dead to the world I recognized wasn't White Eyes. I stared at Brown Eyes without recognizing him from standing next to the glass box. I eyed the male very closely to see as I saw my face is the same as the male while lying either dead or asleep in frozen status in the box. How was I supposed to know that the male was an original cloned copy of Nikolai by persona of Human Tom complete without the Banshee side in control he kept into a frozen sleep status? I found the male Human Tom was just lying there with eyes open appearing to be asleep in frozen status. I didn't realize it then what the message I was supposed to get. I do recognize the message later after a great deal of thought.

I still acting as Jason among Tappers felt the familiar tapping code onto the back of my head I groaned from memory to speak out loud "Tip."

I felt Tip continue on tapping "I want to show you something at a place for healing."

I exhaled a breath to eye Ted in response to get from the male "I already seen what they showed me at the hospital. So go with him now. I marked you special. The Tappers will leave you alone till I take back the mark."

Groaning softly I found myself blindfolded and again guided out of the dark temple to outside into the glaring sunlight to frown following Tip waddling down the stairs. I noticed that Ted wasn't with us but I kept on following Tip.

I groaned softly "I hope it's worth my time being freed from containment."

Tip got me back to the police station and back into my jail cell to my disgust despite later introduced to the Meritanian's transportation abilities while there.

Tip could communicate mentally with the Meritanians involving asking for transportation as long as the plants' insists "This ability must be kept secret!"

Tip had us transported to standing in an all white hallway looking through a window I recognized as a hospital. I frowned looking in the window showing an all white room with a hammock. I felt myself confused as the hammock swung a bit before a being appearing to look oddly familiar to me came off the hammock.

I felt Tip's tapping onto my back and translated "This is one of the species called Drainer our word for bloody sucker. They were born First Ones like you and any other tube birth but became a Drainer via sickness hitting them."

I felt Tip's hand leave me as I concentrated onto the Drainer as if recognizing the Meritanians were manipulating my mind to be given a message. I noticed the Drainer had animalistic golden eyes of a cat, clawed hands and a scaly form of one of snake reptilian species without the furring or feathers.

I heard blared in my mind unexpectedly "We've been expecting you to arrive, Jason, to our message. We didn't leave you behind on purpose despite others call us manipulators they call us think we are."

I frowned to blink my eyes as I acting as Jason got a memory of me controlling gonoids that had the same red plume on top of their heads I saw from the caged Drainer.

I stiffened as I heard again blaring in my mind "The control that White Eyes complained about was us Skyans, we call ourselves instead of that name of Drainer, communicating with him. He got the message we gave him wrong. It's the High Council who control us keeping us locked up out of fear of thinking you First Ones are sick with an illness to make us sick in response hence their withholding bloody supplies for us."

I mentally spoke while eyeing the Drainer "What do you expect me to do? I'm trapped by the High Council controlling me and what behaviors they expect me to do for them."

I frowned as I heard in response as the Drainer made a stretching move "There's another sacred tree along with other trees in another area in Sumerian forest park as the Tappers' call it It's where we're always hiding there whenever in free status. It's rumored what one Tapper knows all knows like a hive mentally mind control involving clones."

I frowned to get Tip's familiar tapping in code on the back of my head again.

I sighed recognizing it as Tip's hand code for "Pay attention, stop daydreaming!"

I spoke while eyeing Tip and sounding firm "You sure that the Drainers as you call them don't have any intelligence to communicate?"

I frowned to get Tip's hand tapping onto my arm I translated "Your Father claimed on a meeting with the Drainers that they were communicating with him in some mind to mind method.

He kept on screaming various insults and comments aimed at us the High Council calling us by the insult wording of 'Manipulators'-"

I interrupted "Such as the name of Skyan the Drainers called themselves?"

I frowned to get Tip's hand tapping in response "What did the Meritanians say to you since it's obvious that they can communicate with you?"

I sighed softly to feel Tapper's hands onto my arms holding me from the back in a tight ironclad move I sensed myself still contained into my tube trap.

I spoke making sure I sounded firm "Tip, the Skyans wants me to take you to Sumerian forest and show you something."

I clamped my mouth shut to get from Tip "What did the Meritanians instruct you to do?"

I still acting as Jason sighed and spoke "The Skyans or Drainers claim that there's another sacred tree in that forest along with others like it."

I heard blared in my mind unexpectedly "The Drainers aren't immune to death for they can disappear themselves something that I'm remembering while communicating inappropriate wording by the Meritanians towards Jason here."

I recognized Thurin's voice commenting.

I sighed again and spoke words "I think the Skyans don't know language uses involving voices hence they tried communicating to my father as you call him. He heard the Skyans' communications' attempts but got the message wrong regarding who controls who. I think the Drainers were referring you, High Council controlling us and the Drainers out of fear."

I frowned to get Tip's familiar tapping again to translate to the contained Drainer "Says then why did you set the servant off to insult us?"

I heard in response which I spoke verbatim "Says there are Skyans marked by their eyes that can survive the plague hitting us both. The eyes marked their survivors and destroyers by giving special eyes towards them to do this job only and no others. This First One as you referred speaking our words has the mark of one by his eyes indicating it which is willed forwards when's he wants it in control."

I frowned as I got an image fully in my mind of an eyesight view showing someone was staring at me floating in a tube with eyes all black by the looks of it. I recognized the annoyance god's Source ability in control despite unable to will it aside. I found this memory as I saw involved the High Council giving the Drainers or Skyans a uses of language by spoken wording instead of them communicating by mind. I exhaled a breath to frown while blinking my eyes of the vision of me with Nikolai's face I realized warily was seen by another clone of me viewing me from a freed status. I sighed from the memory and recalled I found myself acting as a communicator between the High Council by manipulation of the Meritanians who had yet to grasp speech and the captured Drainer in a tube next to mine. I found the talk was on the Drainer trying to convince the High Council to go to their castle and teach them the spoken language uses so they won't use mental mind talk. The talk ended when the Drainer was abruptly transported out by light show seen and snickering like noises sounding loudly within my mind. I later recognized the noises belonging to the Meritanians like they told a joke with the transportation done.

"Meritanians talk!" I got into my mind despite finding myself seeing a scene into my mind.

I saw a scene in my mind involved a crowned male glaring at three figures wearing white hooded robes twin to the High Council's robes of death having all black eyes and only their faces seen from their robes.

I found the male was yelling at the three "Meritanians talk! Say something!"

The three figures in response shook their heads into a no gesture twin to human's gestures and refused to speak.

I felt annoyed when the ambassador I recognized as another version of Human Tom speaking for the High Council speaking through me "You expect me to believe that talk, Meritanians, that you haven't grasped spoken languages?"

I snarled out loud instead of translating the talk "Oh! Just take me to the Sumerian Forest now! I'll settle this ridiculous argument between you, High Council and the Meritanians now! So get your hands off of me and get to the forest now! It's me Jason talking and not that Meritanian!"

I glared at by memory at the High Council who was seated in their throne chairs of nine figures without their traditional speakers of Shad and Onya in their places. I recalled this memory was of a cloned copy who the Meritanians were communicating with.

I glared in response despite sensing the Falcons' hand grips become ironclad onto me as I gave "Humph!" sound.

I found the Falcons in response freeing me as I stomped out of the room towards the traveler's gate I thinking to myself "This argument better be solved now. I'm tired of this ridiculous fighting."

I found myself transported to Sumerian Forest towards the beach to stomp into the water sensing me followed by a lone servant of the High Council clad in white hooded robes of death that got a hold on my arm in a tight grip. The grip felt like fear to me.

I mentally spoke yelling "Show me, Meritanians where you are now!"

I saw the familiar fox again with the familiar red plume that appeared into view to groom itself.

I mentally spoke towards the fox "Show me the Meritanians now."

I found the fox obeying to go to a tree to dig at its roots seemingly lengthy before a part of it was seen. I yanked off the High Council's hand grip and went to check to see peering in the hole was the familiar red thin root jutting from it into the ground.

It was assumed that was the Meritanians themselves despite me thinking "That's not the plants themselves." I gesturing towards the hole "The fox as commanded is telling the truth. This is another plant like mind walker that's like this but this isn't the Meritanians."

I stepped back to let the High Council see for himself before noticing the fox was again at the beach dipping paws into the water.

I spoke "Fox is digging again from the looks of it but indicating something underwater like plant."

I got no comment from the High Council member as I stood watching the fox go to each tree and repeatedly dig holes baring the red root jutting from it underground but each time go to the beach's water to paw dip into the area into a heavy pawing like method. I checked each tree to see the fox had dug holes in trees surrounding them in a clearing before darting out of sight out of mind despite eyeing the water with a frown.

I spoke "Meritanians you live underwater? Can you rise out of the water and show yourself?"

I saw the question answered by bubbling noises sounding in the middle of the big lake water I noticed was surrounded by a mountain chain of islands. I kept eyeing the bubbling to find something rising from below as I saw revealed was three large giant sized roses giant in nature and huge came out of the water unfurling their petals. I heard the familiar snickering sound within my mind and realized what the Meritanians were plants that live in the ocean and rise above the water shaped like black roses.

I spoke towards the High Council member "You were saying regarding the Meritanians being living humanoids when's their rose's plants that came out of the water that can communicate mentally by mind talk?"

I glared at the High Council member who gave up a loud sound of "No!" of alarm.

I heard loud hissing sounds and growling noises. I looked around as gestured by the High Council member to find multiple Drainers hissing away climbing down trees with clawed hands attached to the tree in some four footed method.

I mentally spoke "Stop it now!"

I shouted loudly repeated my words mentally and verbalizing it "This battle on who gains control ends now! Stop this fight and get along now! I'm sick of it!"

I heard the hissing stop from the Drainers to find them form a confused expression on their faces while sitting on the ground in some stretching poses.

I gave the High Council member a glare as I spoke while mentally repeating my words "You High Council members see the Drainers as valuable enough to care for them. You Drainers that live are valued by the High Council who gave you your home so why don't you guard them for servitude?" I added not sparing each one of the Drainers a glare spoke while mentally repeating my words "My job and descendants' job is to act as the one who communicates brokering peace agreements between you two, the High Council and the Drainers. So Drainers can grow in their new place and take the servitude job of being sacred to the High Council. That includes growing for becoming a home for the Drainers to live in as the guardians of the High Council. Besides you Drainers seem to know the difference from a sick and healthy First One when's feeding off them. It's your job to point to me and the High Council which Drainer must die for another to be reborn into its place. High Council, it's your job to protect Drainers judging by their intelligence. I suggest you both do it now!"

I glared at the High Council member and the Drainer closest to me with my arms folded while forming a narrowed eyed glare on my face. I eyed the Drainer closest to me as if drawn to hesitantly edge it self towards the High Council member not moving or thrusting out his hand. I frowned as the Drainer reached the High Council's ambassador to place a clawed hand onto the High Council member's shoulder in a gentle grip move that remained. I eyed the High Council member that reached out a hand appearing to be black of gloved and gripped the Drainer's shoulder in response.

I figured from memory of that meeting of peace "Their doing the mind walker's version of hand shakes for agreeing to something."

I kept my mouth shut in response to seeing that as both of them got into a tight hugged gesture and seemed lengthy with the hugging to me. I frowned forming it on my lips to find the High Council member appeared to be gently patting the Drainer's back into a gentle move. I eyed the Drainer in response who edged put its face, face to face level with the High Council member to appear to be staring.

I sighed softly "Of course they can communicate with each other but had a disagreement hence they using me for communications. Hopefully this will turn out to be a good agreement."

I felt myself smiley a bit kept my mouth shut forming that gesture without baring my teeth for teeth baring is slang talk for "I'll fight you if I don't get my way."

I eyed the Drainer and High Council's ambassador appeared to communicate with each other seemingly lengthy underneath me staring at them and unsure of what's their saying to each other.

I felt the earth shake all around me like an earthquake despite the two mind walkers ignoring that and heard an alien monotone voice twin to one with deafness saying "Ouch that hurts!"

I frowned finding that voice kept on saying "Oh well, you had to ruin that didn't you smarty?"

I didn't comment a response eyed the rose bushes in the water to mentally yell "You, Meritanians could talk after all?!"

"Of course we can talk." I heard an alien voice sounding a bit feminine followed by a third voice saying "Just don't blab much involving us."

I frowned to eye the Drainer and High Council member to find they both quit communicating and was appearing to be glaring at the roses in the water I figured was the Meritanians themselves

I spoke in response loudly "The Meritanians are mind walking plants that are communicating."

I got nothing in response from the Drainers who without a word or gesture towards the High Council member slunk into the forest climbing the trees and out of sight. I eyed the High Council member in response who went up towards me to grip my arm and I found myself transported back to the High Council's throne room.

Overhead I heard "I'm mighty the great! The greatest there is!"

I frowned recognizing that voice as one of the spoken Meritanians but had maleness like tone. I found the High Council member in response going to sit down among the High Council sitting at the edge of the group's seating and just ignoring me. I found myself transported by memory to that tube where I was remaining inside it.

I recalled to myself "The Drainers are actually another form of Meg species that the High Council refers them that evolved to have Humanoid like intelligence as did the Meritanians once their abilities to talk was made fully."

I kept my eyes into my familiar TV's screen only to get yanked out by Mordecai doing it to me. I who I saw frowned as Tip I assumed was the Tapper led Jason to the old sacred tree that wasn't in Sumerian forest unstopped. I frowned as the Tappers led Jason I saw was a cloned copy of myself by memories of him into my mind. Jason according to memory was led to a hole in the ground and with great strength lifted him off his feet and thrust him into the opening. Jason was gently placed down on a patch of leaves I seeing another Tapper in a cave with a passageway lighted by glowing balls of light. Jason followed the Tapper in the passageway to find it ended in cave. I saw him looked around seeing the cave was lighted by glowing balls of light with in the middle was a familiar red thin root jutting from a tree trunk above. I sighed recognizing the area from my dreams of White Eyes, Jason's Father. I saw Jason jerk as he felt an object thrust into his hand was a knife from the handle onto the area. I sighed softly and without a word saw Tappers gathered around in the cave in a semi circle coming from the passageway that stopped to stare at Jason silently not commenting with tapping. I frowned as Jason according to the TV without a word towards them went to the sacred tree's root. As if compelled grabbed a hold of the root to see images flash into my mind too fast for me to see but made me grimace.

I saw clearly in my mind the reason for the sacred tree by the Tappers I thought as Jason focused onto the root while letting the images run through his mind "Figures that the Tappers have a sacred tree. Their dependant on its mental mind link to keep them linked together via mind including passing down information to future generations."

Jason without another word cut the root with a swipe of the knife to see it fall apart followed by a screeching sound of pain in Tappers' noises to me. I exhaled a breath as he dropped the knife seeing clearly in my mind on what to do next for Jason. He darted through the cave passageway unstopped by Tappers to dart towards the holey opening to find Tappers' arms there acting like ladders. He climbed on the hands and arms like a ladder while hearing them screeching. Jason darted out of the hole and ran ignoring screeching Tappers to the road to meet Ted with a motorcycle who tossed him a helmet. He climbed onto the motorcycle and jammed on the helmet then started up the thing gripping its handles in a fast move. Jason was sensed driving erratically as if he urged himself to hurry seeing the motorcycle was a standard police motorcycle that gave off police lights instead of the siren. I didn't care to hear the siren instead kept on driving the motorcycle to Sumerian forest. Jason wound up taking route to get to the city then to the Sumerian forest that was surrounded by the city's buildings overhead. Once he reached the park's entrance vaulted off the motorcycle yanking off the helmet and dropped it.

He darted into the area mentally yelling, I heard "The Tappers' sacred tree is cut! I did that job! So show me what tree to focus onto restoring the link!"

I heard in my mind unexpectedly as Jason cut his yelling "Just look up, and see the writings of the ancients, Jason. You'll find your answer."

I obeyed to spot towering above was a tree I heard mentally from the Drainers "The ocean islands chain is surrounding three Meritanians' plants guarded by you, High Council's underwater city."

I didn't comment a response darted towards the towering tall tree to find it easily. At the bottom gathered around the roots were multiple Drainers digging away into the tree's root. Jason joined them digging with his hands despite they using claws to dig better than him. He sighed once a hole to the cave underground the sacred tree was formed and got grabbed to go inside which he obeyed. Jason fell into the cave seeing it lighted by glow balls and saw the sacred tree's root. He darted towards the root in a fast move and with his left hand wrapped it around the area in a tight ironclad grip. I grimaced as images within my mind ran through I sensed was going into the Meritanians elsewhere restoring the link to the big three's minds.

I felt the linking activated within Meritanians by my senses blaring within me as in a male voice saying "Link activated."

I sighed as I heard blared in Jason's mind as he let go of the root "Meritanians' link is restored. So you can come out now."

I saw Jason obeyed to get pulled out of the cave by Tapper's hands grabbing him and yanking him through the hole. Jason eyed the Tapper who removed its hands from his arms to tap in code onto his chest me seeing the Drainers not looking surprised by that.

I translated "There's someone I want you to meet so follow me."

I frowned as the Tapper tapped its familiar code on the back of my head I finding myself as Jason again me sighing to speak "Tip?"

I got from Tip tapping onto my chest "Come follow me."

I obeyed and frowned as I was led out of the forest to the bus stop and got told "Take the bus out to Sumerian Forest's campgrounds in Merida Park. You'll be told on what to do there."

I obeyed to get onto the bus once it arrived to sit in a seat by myself to notice an older female Suria glaring at me with a glare. I sighed recognizing the glare to hold up my right hand where the ring was still there in her line of sight me making an obscene gesture with that displaying that ring. I didn't know that the finger involving that ring was a common First One's insult that later got copied by others of the species living in Aire as the planet should be called. I frowned as the old female without a word looked away to resume reading her book I saw from the looks of the computer pad in her hand. I sighed again finding myself the subject of repeated glares by First Ones, both males and females. I forced to show the ring on my right hand's middle finger in their direction whenever I noticed them glaring as the bus drove out of the city.

I felt fed up with showing my ring concentrated out the window to see a sign saying "Merida park."

I pulled the bus stop sign pull cord and got out of the bus once giving the bus stop signal by pulling onto the cord. I felt relieved to get off the bus to enter the campsite via entrance. I found was a forest entrance with multiple trees to feel the familiar tapping code on the back of my head.

I spoke loudly "Tip?"

I looked off my right to find a Tapper that tapped onto my arm I translated to himself "Take the route to Merida's cliff that is over a lake. There's a campsite there which there's someone there waiting for your arrival. Don't dawdle."

I frowned to find the Tapper gesturing a hand in a direction for me to take. I obeyed finding a path and followed it up a hill seemingly steep to me making me have to crawl onto it with my hands. I reached the hill's top after huffing and puffing for breath to see an edge that appeared to fall into a lake when I looked peering over it. It made me grimace and shake my head which I looked away. I saw footprints in the ground made by shoes followed the path to meet an older female that did a loud gasp seeing me. I eyed the female who halted from her walk with a frown that looked nervous seeing me.

I spoke "I'm named Jason by a Tapper named Tip who raised me."

I frowned as the female appeared to shake her head followed by shutting her eyes and rubbing a hand on her forehead before removing the hand. I sighed softly seeing the female appear to compose herself who opened her eyes to stare at me with a scrutiny look I towering over her. She was short height despite me tall and towering over her by a good nine inches in Human's measurements.

I frowned as the female spoke "My name is Diana and I'm your Mother."

I didn't gasp of shock hearing that from her despite hearing Jason's familiar comment "Sod off!" from memory of that as Diana who added "Your Father from the looks of you appears to be White Eyes and not by a male I thought was the Father. I have a reason for my scared reaction to seeing you. I warn you its pretty bad."

I sighed to quit my gasping to frown forming it on my face forming a familiar glare twin to Barry's glare I later told of that. I kept my mouth shut as my Mother groaned of pain I heard. I acting as Jason eyed Diana the Mother who reached out a hand to touch my shoulder I not protesting from that touch's gesture copied her while looking down at her. I found the top of Jason's Mother's head reached halfway at the chest from the looks of it that looked up staring at me in some scrutiny look.

I spoke realizing why Jason's Mother was scared of him before I acting as Jason introduced himself "My Father created me by force didn't he?"

I frowned to get Jason's Mother gasping out "Oh sod off!" followed by a pained expression formed on her face with her eyes shut "Yes he did that."

I spoke making sure I sounded soothing later told "You have a hypnotic voice." I said "I already went through that ritual involving mating myself but this time it was willingly with the female I was paired to. I didn't find anything seriously wrong with the mating. I sort of let the female do what she wanted with me first willingly. Then after that I did what I wanted onto her before we both quit sleep."

I frowned seeing Jason's Mother's face remained its painful expression followed by she speaking "I admit it he was targeting me in some breeding way. I was put off by accepting him by his eyes that are the twin usualness as yours. The eyes of your Father made me think of some negative term involving him not acceptable for breeding."

I spoke as she paused to rub a hand on her forehead "Didn't the Tappers tell you anything regarding this breeding match?"

I frowns eyeing Jason's Mother who removed her hand and showed her eyes full of water in them like she was crying tears either of sadness or relief of joy.

She, I heard spoke "The Tappers' said nothing about any breeding between White Eyes as your Father was called back then and with females. I sort of jumped to conclusions that they wouldn't approve and rejected your Father in some rude manner. He retaliated with you as the result."

I sighed as Jason's Mother looked away while removing her hand from my shoulder to rub hands on her watery eyes.

I embraced the female Mother in some gentle hug move she not resisting while speaking "Mother."

I sighed as she clung to me in response to hear her giving off loud wailing noises of crying sounds. I kept myself still holding Mother while gently rubbing her back as she buried her face onto my front while still clinging to me seemingly lengthy. I eyed the sky as if drawn to find it was sunset to glimpse a campfire in a direction.

I frowns eyeing Mother who quit her pity party and spoke while meeting my eyes "Come with me. Edie the male who I thought fathered you deserves to know of this."

I didn't comment a response wordlessly followed Mother to the campfire where there was a gathering of seven First Ones' all older than me. I glimpsed Ted among them not looking surprised to see me. I heard gasps sounds from the First Ones when they saw me in sight with my usual all black beady eyes. I figured my eyes were beady black looking despite Lance Richard's Source permanently in control. I still can't seem to will that ability away from me despite finding that's always in control by me giving mental mind orders.

Such as ordering someone to sleep by saying mentally "Go to sleep!"

I have to have a hand out in front of me to say that order or putting a hand onto that person's forehead to do that order. Ugh where was I in that story?

I spoke firmly over the gasping "I'm named Jason by a Tapper named Tip who raised me."

I got "I knew it, Diana that the child wasn't mine from the looks of him!"

I exhaled a breath giving off a sound of disapproval including saying "Sod off!" to find the speaker was one of the males I figured was Edie as Mother called him.

I eyed Edie with a narrowed eyed glare in response to get from Diana "The mating was by force, Edie. Don't you remember catching White Eyes mating with me via force? Don't you remember that you threw White Eyes off of me? I appeared to suffer injuries from the mating as in bleeding where he got himself inside me."

Mother who I saw was glaring at Edie. I resumed looking at Edie with a narrowed glare twin to Barry's confess your crime evil eyed golden glare that appeared to form a sheepish expression on his face.

I heard "White Eyes stung very painfully when he did that mating to me actually hence I bleeding. I thought he injured me with that forced mating. I didn't realize that something like carrying Jason would result from this. I assumed like you thought that he wasn't approved to be bred by the Tappers. They never said a comment on that towards me in question hence I jumped to conclusions and assumed that thought."

I kept my mouth shut while eyeing Mother in response who added forming a glare on her face "Since the forced mating ritual happened I haven't been sleeping very well lately hence I appeared to be scared and upset. It was result of nightmares of dreaming of White Eyes repeatedly doing that forced mating ritual towards me with the memory of the pain still fresh in my mind. The dreams of force mating stopped once he was dead."

I sighed frowning forming it on my face while eyeing Ted as if drawn to see the male get up going towards Mother and without a word placed a hand onto her shoulder. I saw others followed Ted's example to surround her and me in bunched circles to placed hands on the shoulders. I felt my shoulder squeezed gently to find Edie had a hand on my shoulder that looked at me with a peaceful look on his face. I reached out a hand and gently touched Edie's shoulder and squeezed gently. I sighed as I and the Suri remained gathered for a lengthy time period I not caring how long it was till the sun's light disappeared showing the campfire and lights illuminating the campground. I sighed as Ted gave a loud ahem sound and broke the circle and the hold.

I obeyed to get from Ted "Your staying with me in my tent. I have room for you. Besides your Mother and Edie needs to privately, work out the issue of White Eyes fathering you as by your eyes and face showing proof of that."

I didn't comment a response followed Ted to a tent and got inside to find another sleeping bag with a pillow inside waiting for me which I wound up put asleep by a voice saying "Nighty night Smarty!"

Oh really Meritanians?! I dreamed of walking in the Forest of Merida Park.

I walked to the cliff and saw White Eyes, Jason's Father walking towards his Mother speaking "I have come like I said I would. They can't stop me from doing my mission."

Jason's Mother I saw marched up towards his Father, slapped him and yelled "I don't like it when you grab me and throw us both into the lake! I'm sick and tired of that!"

Jason's Father in response put a finger over his Mother's mouth cutting her talk to sense she's angry at him.

The Father over heard by me told Mother "Ask Ted if he has any children and to do it in Tapper presence. Tappers will know if he's lying and will point it out."

Father I saw gave a smile while eyeing Mother before removing his hand and walked around Diana to edge of cliff then turned around folding arms. Mother I saw disappeared from view as in transported out by that light show seen. I walked towards Father who without a word placed a hand on my shoulder me copying.

I heard Jason's voice spoke "Father."

I saw Father's eyes shift from all white to a First One's male blue who smiled at me who said "I can rest now."

I released my hand onto Father who did the same and saw the male turn around to form white wings on his back along with clothes turning all white. I eyed Father who flew up in the air towards a glowing cloud followed by the sunlight shining brighter and brighter blocking my view of the male. I felt a hand touching my shoulder shaking me as I squinted from the sunlight's glare. I felt myself still lying in the sleeping bag to feel a familiar tapping code onto my leg.

I spoke "Tip?"

Tip tapping "Its morning. You've slept long enough so get up now."

"Alright" I spoke "I'll get up but there got to be something for me to eat."

I got in response "Tsk you and your Father share the same thing, an always bottomless stomach."

I groaned in response but got up from the sleeping bag and walked out of the tent to see the familiar Tapper waddling behind me towards the campfire.

I got handed a package in grey color by Edie who spoke "Its food so eat up. You need your nourishment."

I sighed and ate after opening the package to find some kind of jammed into a bar version of cereal with some milky substance included in the middle. I heard silence from the others while sitting at campfire with Ted, Mother and others. I eyed Mother in response seeing her sitting next to Edie who had an arm around her shoulder she accepting the gesture.

I watched Mother warily waiting for her to ask Ted her question who spoke "Ted, do you have off springs?"

I eyed Ted in response speaking "No not really why do you ask?"

I heard a loud squawk sound of a Tapper to see one standing behind me giving off a loud squawk slapping Ted on the face with its hands.

I spoke "I got the impression from being raised by a Tapper that they know when you're lying. Their reaction to lies is always the same, as in slapping the person on the face. I still have a sore face from a Tapper doing that to me whenever catching me in a lie. Sorry for mentioning this but Ted lied according to the Tapper."

Ted I glared at with my eyes narrowed into a familiar glare as the male appeared to gulp and spoke "I fathered White Eyes."

I heard gasping sounds from the group's shock.

I heard "Who's White Eyes' Mother anyway? I'm getting that from a Tapper tapping it onto my back."

I sighed hearing Edie's voice as Ted pointed a finger at an older female sitting across from him and spoke "Irina, is the Mother."

I eyed Irina I figured I'll call her who spoke "I protests to that talk due to having my baby carrier removed from a medical condition. I don't remember carrying this White Eyes as Ted claims I did."

I eyed Ted who spoke "Back then that I and Irina got in an argument about her refusing to breed children fathered by me. I got angry during the argument punched Irina knocking her out and forced mated with her in some sleeping status. When I pulled out White Eyes started growing fast inside Irina."

I shifted to eye Irina who was forming a glare on her face as Ted I heard kept talking "After White Eyes came out of Irina; Tappers came out of the bushes surrounding us and knocked me out.

I woke up in hospital and told by Tapper 'You had an operation to keep you from fathering any more children.'

'Irina was' according to Tapper told 'a medical exam found a problem with her and she had her baby carrier removed to save her life.'"

I shifted to eye Ted in response that paused then spoke "Irina's reaction towards me is twin to Diana's reaction towards White Eyes. Both females used the excuse of our eyes as reason why they wouldn't mate with us. Irina thought the same thing towards me, Diana thought towards White Eyes. We both weren't approved for a mating as thought by both females said towards us. We both reacted negatively to being rejected and formed children in the result with different carrying statuses actually."

I spoke after a lengthy silence while eyeing Irina "What's so special about Ted's eyes to reject mating with him? His eyes look normal to me anyway."

I glared eyeing Irina who noticed my glare gulped and she spoke "Ted flaunted as habitually, some unnatural Surian like ability via eyes as in changing colors to sunlight color whenever he was furious with something. I did think the same think Diana thought towards White Eyes. I thought Ted wasn't approved for a breeding despite the Tappers not commenting on it. I never bothered to ask the Tappers on what they thought on breeding from Ted and a Suria."

I spoke "Mother, did you ask the Tappers about the breeding between my Father and Suria females?"

I heard the firmness of anger with my voice tone frowned folding my arms while straightening up my back I attempt to show I was serious with my question.

I heard "I made the same mistake Irina made. I didn't ask the Tappers on this matter. I just assumed by myself."

I sighed and unfolded my arms to relax my back while staring at the campfire seemingly lengthy hearing silence among the Suri gathered around there. I eyed Ted as if drawn to see the male get up going towards Irina to gently place a hand on her shoulder from behind her.

I eyed Ted who kneeled next to Irina and appeared to be speaking finding myself hearing "I'm sorry Irina for not honestly asking you why you rejected me for breeding and forcing this mating between us. The Tappers have claimed to figure out what resulted in the fast growth carrying status of White Eyes coming to exist. They have when asked refused to say what their claiming about instead have been evasive with the answer. They keep on dropping or changing the subject repeatedly whenever I bring it up. I figured it's just them being mysterious again as usual."

I sighed softly as Irina shifted her form to face Ted and saw her grab the male's cheeks to kiss him fully on the lips before breaking it off and hugging the Surian. I sensed movement to spot Mother in a lip lock ritual with Edie ignored by others not bothering to look which I resumed staring at the campfire.

I felt the familiar tapping code onto the back of my head I translated "I want to talk to you alone so come with me now."

I obeyed sensing myself not noticed leaving or followed to follow the Tapper's hand to the bushes to find the Tapper standing on the cliff over the lake.

I frowned as the Tapper tapped in code onto my chest "Your creation was Egyptia the planet we dub her, way of reminding us, High Council what we're supposed to be doing towards you, First Ones and Drainers as you wish to be called than that Skyan name. We were in denial when you were born reminding us of that. We assumed that Mordecai would have more offspring that way by mating. So we took out what makes First Ones' breed from Mordecai and led Thurin to believe that his second in command General Wickers did that to his cloned son. Egyptia being cunning got you created within this female named Diana despite Mordecai already had what he creates offspring removed by us, High Council."

I exhaled a breath refraining from gasping of shock as the Tapper continued on tapping I translated to myself "Besides Mordecai doesn't know of this but when he was a youngling recently born, he was sick with some offspring's sickness you dub by this word of cancer. The sickness wrecked up his system enough to make it a problem for him to breed offspring through females after one mating was done onto them. Hence he's got to mate more than once for breeding with females something we the High Council removed from him based on Nikolai's breeding abilities."

I grimaced forming it onto my face as the Tapper or High Council's ambassador ignored my facial expression continued on tapping "Egyptia, the planet is an actual living being entity that controls everything including what she expects from us living in her to do. Such as Egyptia seeing that she's treated appropriately including helping out with problems among us, High Council, you First Ones and the Drainers. She helped out with a problem plaguing us and gave us an answer from you coming to existence which was miraculous and not what we had a hand in."

I sighed to stop grimacing as the Tapper added "For you helping us with a problem I'll tell you where to find this female dubbing she, Luna. It's not her actual name anyway. Besides she's currently carrying at the moment from tests done onto her. You're the Father actually. Her name she uses among males is Luna, among females is Anna, and among her family is Andrea."

I frowned as I got "She's currently in Yorkville working at the counter for body ornaments dubbed jewelry in Bradlees' store. Besides she after mating with you asked for a transfer to back to her work place. She seems to have some kind of fear attitude towards males mostly First Ones. That is mostly towards the one who fathered her who used some kind of strict method for controlling her and her Mother at the residence they currently live in. She needs to overcome her fear to stand up for herself and believe that she has a life with being paired towards a male First One something she's scared of."

I spoke as the Tapper paused "Anything on this male who fathered her knowing of she carrying?"

The Tapper in response tapped onto his chest "The Mother suspects of this carrying status haven't said anything about it. This female who is carrying your offspring is aware of this carrying status and hasn't been able to mention it to her Father due to fears towards him. Besides shouldn't you be going to Yorkville to get her?"

I sighed as the Tapper stopped its tapping to waddle away.

I went to the campfire to hear loudly "Jason, I want my ring back."

I groaned softly hearing Ted's words as I without a word took off the ring and handed it towards Ted.

I frowned seeing Ted slipped the ring onto his middle finger on his left hand and heard him added "Sorry, Jason I know how you hate the hood and vest but you still got to wear it anyway. The Tappers allowed me to go without that status after they flaunted that I was the reason why I saved their sacred tree from my son. I admit it I shot your Father, my son in the back hitting the beater organ with a handgun."

I hissed a breath loudly hearing that saying "Sod off!" a popular saying for insults as Ted continued talking "I knew instantly when I met White Eyes for the first time in the campground as a full grown that he was my son I fathered through Irina. I sacrificed my son to save the Tappers' sacred tree something the Tappers themselves found honorable. They awarded me this status of going around without coverage marked by this ring on my finger of this heroism."

I again hissed loudly saying "Sod off!" as Ted gave me a glare which I cut my sounds to frown despite repeatedly saying "Sod off!"

I heard from Ted "The Tappers told me they won't give this status to another male until I've fully been declared dead is when they'll do this again. The Tappers have admitted that they've been doing this status onto a male after the declaration of death is done onto this male they highlighted. It's when they will award this status onto another male and keep up doing this over and over. Besides Jason, see me in my tent now, I'm done explaining myself."

I frowned but obeyed to follow Ted into a tent to get the male picking up a familiar vest and hood making me groan loudly "Sod off!"

I'm not entirely sure of why's that saying is popular among First Ones as an insulting term to say towards people when's angry with some mood. I got a glare from Ted who thrust them both towards me which I put on.

I spoke by compulsion of the Meritanians doing it to me "Bugger o-"

I was interrupted by Ted clamping a hand over my mouth as I heard screeching sounds outside the tent sounding very loudly making me grimace. I narrowed my eyes in a glare aimed at Ted as I heard the screeching stop to my relief.

I glared at Ted who spoke "That word is what the Tappers' call their food source some insect that reportedly likes to land onto us for warmth while trying to hatch eggs in the process. The eggs attached to the skin and form nasty rashes that require surgery to take off. The Tappers are crazy for that insect enough to eat it off of us each time they catch it onto any one of us. Hence you feeling itchy all over which the lake is a breeding ground for that insect in question. The Tappers hanging around have figured out that the insect have been trying to land on us for egg hatchery hence they insisted that we keep on camping here. The Tappers are currently using us as a trap for their food source actually."

I removed Ted's hand by force which I spoke "I learned in teachings that it's not good to focus onto one food source for nutrition means."

I glared at Ted who spoke "Yes I'm aware of that. The Tappers are actually all over the place when it comes to gaining nutrition from this planetary world at the moment. They do cannibalize their dead that included eating our dead and only leave some members of our dead preserved for a time period before they get hungry enough to eat. I suspect is what their currently doing towards your Father and his body in question due to your existence."

I gave up "Harrumph!" in response as Ted added "So get going. You'll find the bus you took to get here leading to Yorkville. It'll take you to Bradlees' store vicinity so go now."

I groaned in response and walked out of the tent sensing Ted not following me to feel a Tapper touching me all over making me annoyed as I walked to the bus stop. I took the familiar route to the park's entrance to reach the bus stop. I kept my mouth in a thin line as the Tapper's hand was felt all over me including patting me all over I ignored to feel the touching stop. I folded my arms as I waited lengthy for the Tappers to stop groping me some felt jerking my private or sensitive part in a rude move making me exhale a breath in response to that touching.

I waited with arms folded after the Tapper tapped Tip's familiar tap off the back of my head I speaking "Tip?"

The Tapper tapping onto my back said "Sorry overheard Ted's talk towards you. My touchy all over was trying to remove that bugger from sitting onto you in question. I managed to eat a good deal of them but had to smash some of them onto trees when I felt full. At least you from the feel don't seem to have any buggers stuck onto you at the moment."

I spoke as the bus roared came into view "Respects Tip."

I sighed having to use the Tapper way of saying 'Thank you.'

I waited as the bus stopped which I got aboard to sit noticing females ignoring me. The males I saw were looking at me and with each other with pity from their eyes seen via hoods. I ignored the pity looks to sit down in a seat next to a male that gave me a look of pity. I ignored looks aimed at me I figured was related to my all black eyed beady look as the bus drove on away from Merida park. I shifted to eye Egypt who was floating next to Tam-Mykola with her wings flapping both appearing to ignore each other. I continued to eye the TV of Jason reaching Yorkville as the town was called and getting off the bus. I found Jason rang the doorbell of Luna's house I saw was tall and towering and appearing to look large to me.

I recalled fully on going to Bradlees' plaza only to meet a Tapper than tapped an address onto my back and got told "It's where this Suria you favor lives and is currently at, at the moment."

I walked to the house finding it easily and went to the front door to ring the doorbell. I waited impatiently sensing myself spied on ignored the feeling. I heard a Patty a pet companion of Suri barking loudly off my left. I looked to spot a male holding a bag in hand while pulling on a leash of a Patty who was barking loudly. I frowned eyeing the male warily that was dressed into a fancy pants with a vest and a hood letting the Patty lead the way. I eyed the male I saw had Luna's facial appearance by the looks that was in a glaring expression despite the hood and vest on.

I as thought "Must be Luna's Father."

I heard "Catch!"

It broke me of my thought as Luna's Father threw a bag onto me I found its contents spewing out looking bloody and red to me. I grimaced as the stuff landed onto me all over the place and dripped off. I noticed the Patty barking wildly while doing lunges aimed at me. I gave Luna's Father a glare who released the Patty who made a beeline towards me with mouth showing fanged teeth open.

I mentally spoke sounding firm towards the Patty "I'm not food for you to bite!"

I stood my ground making myself not afraid as the Patty reached me to lick its tongue onto my clothes licking away the red stuff in some hungry move.

I glared at Luna's Father with my eyes narrowed as I spoke sounding firm "I came seeking Luna as she's known among males for a courtship and to enforce an issue. Her name is Andreea as she's known from you as her Father. I didn't ask for you to use me as food for your pet the Patty."

I folded my arms in a glaring stare aimed at Luna's Father as the Patty was felt continued on doing its licking all over my clothes ignoring my bare skin to my relief.

I kept the glare as Luna's Father spoke while clapping his hands "Lillypod come now!"

I found the Patty as assumed was named Lillypod obeying to reach the male to sit on Luna's Father's verbal order who took the leash before adding "You're not scared of Lillypod anyway. She habitually bites onto males seeking my daughter for a courtship. She never does licking unless it's toward me in question so explain your business here now."

I walked off the porch keeping my arms to the sides and spoke once reaching Luna's Father as the Patty was felt licking me again "I'm seeking to have a courtship with your daughter sir."

I clamped my mouth shut to get a glare aimed at me via Luna's Father who spoke "Lillypod bite!"

I spoke in a rush "Lillypod sit!"

I made sure my voice sounded firm to get Lillypod sitting on her haunches while panting away I heard as I kept the glare aimed at Luna's Father.

I got from Luna's Father jabbing a finger aimed at me "Talk on the actual reason for the courtship now! You're hiding something!"

I spoke sounding firm "I suspect that she's carrying my child."

I got from Luna's Father another bite order towards me for the Patty "Bite!" which I spoke "Sit!" command in a fast move in a firm voice tone.

I kept the glare aimed at Luna's Father who again spoke "Lillypod bite!"

I spoke firmly "Lillypod sit!"

I eyed Luna's Father to hear a squealing sound from Lillypod I assumed was the source to find the Patty lying onto the ground on her back with legs up in the air.

I glared at Luna's Father who tossed aside the leash and spoke "Bugger off now since you've gotten Lillypod upset!

I spoke firmly while eyeing the male "Not without a word with your daughter on the issue of courting her."

I glared at Luna's Father who gave up a roaring sound of anger followed by the male charging towards me with hands' fisted. I recalled male children's reactions towards me growing up to react as taught by Tip was no reaction and remain firm I kept the teaching in mind while glaring at Luna's Father who reached me to grab my arm in a tight ironclad hold. I glared at Luna's Father as I felt a stinging prick of a pain in hand to see a syringe attached the area.

I saw Luna's Father smiled a smirk who spoke I heard as dizziness arrived "That'll get rid of a freak like you with those creepy white eyes away from me and my family. Now take the road if you want medical help for the poison I injected into you. I'm not going to help you-"

I heard a screaming sound of a female's voice tone sounding familiar as the ground rose to meet me. I felt the grassed ground onto my cheek and sensed myself slipping away.

I heard just as darkness claimed me "He's Jason the one I'm talking about Daddy!"

I shifted to stare at Egypt next to me ignoring me staring. I felt annoyance take hold I seeing the scene of Jason being drugged to continued on watching the TV. I found Jason as me came to feeling sick in my stomach groaned while putting hands onto the area I feeling myself only clad in my underwear and nothing else on my form. I felt myself on a bed that was on the large size as I felt pressure of a hand rubbing my forehead. I felt the hand wasn't Tapper like making me confused as I felt an object thrust over my mouth and realized what it was and what was causing my stomach pain. I willed myself to expel my stomach's contents finding I throwing up into the expeller tube covering my mouth repeatedly. I threw up and threw up till my stomach quit its pain to sigh loudly removing my hands to thrust the expeller's device away from my mouth.

I rolled over onto my back putting an arm over my eyes to hear a familiar barking sound of a Patty.

I heard loudly "Lillypod sit!"

I frowns hearing the female voice speaking that sounded older than Luna's and seemed firm with the Patty. I felt the hand touching my forehead remove itself to my confusion.

I heard loudly "Hmph Daddy, your terrible with Jason based on his appearance. How many times much I tell you about how Jason came to existence? I got that story straight from a Tapper who told me everything regarding his parentage. Don't you dare treat Jason nasty due to his eyes? It's not nice!"

I sighed softly recognizing Luna's voice tone to hear groaning sounds of a male voice tone followed by "Groan moan all you want Daddy! He's still the Father of my child I'm carrying. Besides he treated me appropriately when it came to our mating. He let me have my way with him first followed by him doing the same treatment towards me after I was done with him. That's what impressed me about Jason, Daddy. Besides didn't you say some twin story of letting Mother doing this mating onto you first just to show that you wanted her more than just for breeding?"

I removed my arm opening my eyes to find Luna standing next to the bed I was laying on her glaring at a familiar male by the face who had all white short hair. I frowned eyeing the male to find Luna's Mother I assumed was her by her all grey long hair that gave Luna's Father a glare.

I eyed Luna's Father as I heard from Luna's Mother "Answer our daughter on this talk now, Martin!"

I kept my mouth in a thin line with eyes narrowed at Martin I assumed I'll call him who spoke "Letty, I hate it when you use that name of Martin to people. Use the name of Mars, Letty my dear."

I eyed Martin in response as Letty I assumed was her name heard "Some husband you're turning out to be with this balking to talk on the subject I insisted you speak on now!"

I kept my mouth shut as Martin was heard groaning out "Alright I did what Andrea mentioned this Jason of hers' did towards her mating wise. It was just to show I was serious on having you, Letty as my wife than used for breeding like its common among such pairing."

I eyed Letty to see her jab a finger towards an open door and heard "Take this Patty out now! Go for a walk while you're at it! I don't want to see you and Lilly for awhile! I'm furious at you for this poisoning stunt you played onto Andrea's Jason based off his eyes! Get out now!"

I saw Letty kept her finger aimed at the open door to see Martin's form slump over followed by he speaking "Lillypod, come."

I glimpsed the Patty with tail wagging following Martin out of the room as Letty I saw slammed the open door shut with a loud bang sound. I grimaced from the noises as I eyed Letty to refrain from showing an expression on my face.

I kept my mouth in a thin line with eyes narrowed as Letty spoke "That nerve of that man. I don't know how I withstand him chasing suitors away from you, Andreea. The latest stunt he pulled has me furious with him. I'm just furious enough to kick him out of the house for awhile."

I kept my mouth shut in response as Letty I eyed disappeared through another open doorway I hearing water running sounds to frown thinking "What's she's doing?"

I eyed Andrea I assumed I'll call her instead of the Luna name who threw herself onto me to kiss me fully onto the lips. I kissed Andrea back keeping my hands to myself.

I figured as thought "I think since I'm in Andrea's house it's her way regarding mating rituals done. I'm not doing anything towards her unless she says so."

I continued to watch as the scene changed to show two figures a male and a female in the middle of a mating ritual making me disgusted to see. I saw the figures were Jason and Luna from the looks of them despite a bit clueless to that mating ritual. I sighed loudly once Andrea who collapsed on top of me. I sighed again to place hands over where my child was nestled inside her I couldn't feel for the offspring.

I heard a loud "Humph!" sound from Letty.

I sighed and adjusted my underwear as Andrea pulled myself out of her and got off the bed.

I rolled over shutting my eyes to hear "Andrea, you and Jason have a responsibility to do."

I opened my eyes to find Martin in the room with a glare on his face. I glared back as Letty was heard clearing her throat. I kept the glare as Martin tossed me a box I caught was appearing to be a jewelry box. I opened it to find rings inside I saw were rings of marriage.

I spoke firmly while eyeing Andrea next to the bed standing with a frown "Andrea, will you marry me?"

I found Andrea in response getting onto the bed and kissing me on the lips I hearing her speaking during a break "Yes!"

I don't remember much of that scene other than the TV's scene changing to show something else. I watched as the scene changed to show a heavily pregnant Andrea lying in bed groaning while Jason was holding onto her hand.

Jason placed a hand onto her abdomen as she groaned out "I have to push."

I heard from the doctor "She's right. The babies need to come out now."

I watched as my son was born followed by my daughter only to hear a coughing sound from Andrea.

I felt panic hitting me as the nurses took my offspring away to focus onto Andrea who gasped out "Nikolai for the boy and Andrea Luna for the girl."

I sighed as I continued to find Andrea kept up the coughing loudly to realize with a start that she was sick with the plague. I continued to hold onto her hand as she appeared to disappear as that saying involving death in High Council's speak. I burst into tears crying while putting my hand onto Andrea's eyes forcing them shut but I don't remember what else happened other than this scene. I continued to watch as I as Jason stood next to a coffin being lowered into the ground I having tears in my all black eyes. I stood eyeing the coffin holding a male figure who I saw was Martin who didn't survive the plague. I grunted as I felt a familiar tapping onto the back of my head.

I spoke "Tip?'

I got from the Tapper in response "Your daughter who survived wound up having the cure to the plague. Your son's death wasn't in vain instead birthed the cure to the plague through your daughter in question. Here wear this."

I got thrust a ring which I put on while speaking "What happened to Ted?"

I eyed the Tapper who gave up a loud squawk sound followed by form shredding into a large bird that flew up into the air. I found the air filled with twin birds to hear cheering sounds from the males gathered around the coffin. I eyed the males in response to find them yanking off their vests and hoods they giving out cheering an applauding sounds. I groaned feeling the ring on my finger felt like a weight to me. I took off the ring and tossed it onto the coffin as dirt was being dumped onto it.

I didn't say a word in response walked away from the cheering males who were heard speaking "The Tappers control has ended! We're free!"

I forced myself to watch scenes of Jason's life till ending with him serving the High Council on another planetary world, I saw, while declared disappeared to the world's natives to my disgust.

The Guardian wound up speaking "Now I'll judge your life on my scale."

I heard the Goddess Egypt shriek some cry sounding of denial to me. The Guardian ignored her shrieking cry instead wound up holding a hand towards me. I felt pain of something detached from my front as I saw a small shiny silver ball leave my stomach towards his hands. The Guardian wound up putting the ball onto a scale which tipped back and forth from heaviness to lightness over and over. I frowns feeling confused to what the results of the scale would be. The scale didn't indicate anything to me. I was forced to watch as the scale settled onto one side and stopped followed by the Guardian getting the silver ball back to me.

The Guardian slumped sitting down in his throne chair of stone and speaking as Egypt shrieked sounding of joy "Life is what the scale has chosen for you. Be gone now."

I found the Guardian cupping his hands over his mouth and making a blow gesture towards me which I wound up tossed backwards till darkness arrived to my eyesight.

I again found myself still contained into my tube trap despite me yelling "Free me!"

I heard snickering laughter from the Meritanians' Tank in response to my yelling commentary. I realized with a start why Tank was laughing to my disgust. I realized that the Meritanians found me valuable to be remained contained into my tube trap for being the one who established contact between the plants and the High Council. I also figured that the Meritanians insisted with an agreement towards the High Council on servitude that I remain kept contained alive into my tube trap. I felt disgust with that knowledge fully into my mind by a Meritanian giving me that memories and knowledge knowing that as long as I was contained the Meritanians would serve the High Council with undivided loyalties as ordered. I didn't feel happy with this knowledge fully into my mind gave up a sound of disgust while contained into my tube trap.

"You figured out didn't you, Jason?" I heard from Tank's blaring voice.

I felt grumpiness hitting me spoke with a grumpy tone "I figured out what you Meritanians were trying to tell me. I'm not happy about that information I got into my mind. Argh Meritanians!"

I heard Tank again giving off his snickering like laughter in response to my wording as I remained floating into my tube trap forever kept contained to my disgust a source of an agreement between the Meritanians and the High Council on servitude undivided loyalties.

I heard from Tank in response "What's gotten you into that hissy fit Tommy boy?"

"Hissy fit" is Meritanian slang talk for angry fit.

I heard the words Tommy boy and was confused for that wasn't my name or anything to do with me.

I found a voice male blaring into my mind "Welcome to the Hall of Thousand Voices kept contained forever for servitude agreements between the High Council and Meritanians including whoever is annoying that group to trap people into tubes for servitude agreements."

I heard the voice sounded alien and monotone devoid of emotion like a Meritanian but the plants had some happy toned voice whenever they talked.

I frowned hearing that male voice spoke in response "Who you supposed to be anyway?"

The male voice spoke in response "Ah a dedicated servant of the High Council who's desperate for acceptance that I'll do anything that group said to me hence I'm contained into a tube trap like you are. The High Council found me valuable to clone me for jobs involving servitude of serving the group. Hence my attitude of being contained despite I'm resigned with sadness that the containment is my attitude of serving the High Council without any divided loyalties towards them. Shouldn't you be doing the same thing too, Jason?"

I gave up a sound of disgust and spoke in response "My loyalties are towards the Meritanians and the Drainers than that traitorous group leaving me into this tube trap."

I heard the male's voice speak again "What do you know of the Drainers and the Meritanians?"

I got memories of the Drainers fully into mind to realize my loyalties wasn't for them including wasn't for the Meritanians either but to the High Council.

I spoke "High Council has my loyalty even if I don't agree to give that loyalty wording towards them."

I heard Tank's laughter again followed by hearing from that male voice "Interesting you care to tell me a story involving how you wound up the source of pointing out the Meritanians to the High Council group?"

I groaned recognizing Tank's laughing noises as the Meritanian was heard "You're terrible big time when you're in denial involving something Jason."

I realized what the information Tank was referring to me in denial involving serving the High Council with undivided loyalties while forever remaining contained into my tube trap source of what I thought agreement between the group and Meritanians for plants to serve. I quit my denial and with sadness forced myself to agreement to that denial talk.

I heard this mysterious voice speaking again "Jason don't you have a story to tell me? Just amuse me while I'm kept contained into here with some story to help me forget I'm contained eternally?"

I found Tank speaking "Just tell Tommy boy the story of us plants contacting the High Council. The High Council didn't order anyone to not talk about that story so talk Jason."

I obeyed speaking towards Tommy boy I figured was his name despite getting the wording "Mindbender" into my mind.

I figured Mindbender was his High Council name while Tommy boy was an insult name said by the Meritanians as I spoke my tale starting at the beginning.

I sensed during me speaking the tale of Meritanians and High Council's contact that someone was recording me speaking that story. I heard clicking noises of someone rapid fired paced clicked away as I spoke that tale. I'm not sure of that clicking noises' source but I glimpsed a female clad in purple colored clothes next to my tube hands onto an object like playing a musical instrument and giving off clicking noises. I wasn't sure of who that female was or the device she was using to give off her noises. I figured she was recording what I was saying by clicking onto the device which she paused from clicking when I paused and rapid fired paced continued clicking when I continued speaking.

Once I finished my tale as Tank blared "Your done telling that tale so talk about something else now or I'll dump you into a volcano to burn to death by eater."

The female I heard gave up a sound of disgust to Tank's blaring which I spoke in response towards Tommy boy "Tommy boy explain who you are despite thinking your High Council name is Mindbender."

I got from Tommy boy in response "My name is Tom and don't forget it, Jason. Stop calling me by that insulting name of Tommy boy. I hate that name anyway."

I spoke "Excuse me Tom, I beg your pardon but speak further of your tale of how you came to serve the High Council to wound up contained into your tube trap like I am."

Tom in response spoke "Tom a human species dubbed Moorra sat in an armchair absently mildly staring at the wall letting his mind wander in thinking..."

I heard Tom's story as eavesdropped by the others in the Hall of Thousand Voices including that female clicking oddly onto her device with her hands as I heard Tom's tale. I heard no commentary from the others in the Hall of Thousand Voices reacting to Tom's story despite I'm the only one reacting loudly while the female clicking onto her device gave up noises. I realized with a start from the lack of reaction to Tom's tale that the others kept contained into the Hall of Thousand Voices were freed from containment leaving only Tom and I kept contained as Tom finished his tale.

I felt annoyance with that knowledge fully into mind as I heard a new voice spoke "Interesting story, Tom, no wonder you were desperate for acceptance which is what you should have gotten from a female."

I heard the voice sounded familiar reminding me of Tom's but seemed older toned voice and more alien to me.

I heard from Tom in response "Father I'm so stupid desperate for acceptance that I would do anything for that something the High Council took advantage of hence me stupidity not realizing a female is the reason for acceptance."

I heard the alien male voice speak "You're not stupid, Tom, just misguided."

I spoke in response "Who are you besides Tom speaking that tale while kept contained in the Hall of Thousand Voices? I sensed only Tom and I were kept in containment while others were freed."

I heard from the alien male voice "Not really freed, just taken out for identification of mind raped followed by determining if their useful being out of containment or dumped into an eater mountain to be disappeared as the High Council said for dead status. The High Council found some of those people were contained on jokes by the Meritanians finding it funny which those people were freed and dumped onto the First Ones as dubbed the Human species' island nation's land to be taken care of."

I spoke "That doesn't explain who you are as in identifying yourself?"

I got from Tom in response "I identifying the speaker as my declared to me father and creator named Thurin a part of a Keo/Banshee species dubbed Freeloader by the High Council that came from a sister planet orbiting Aire called Uzan."

I got from the male voice in response "You got it Tom, satisfied Jason on who I am?"

I spoke "Never mind just tell me how you wound up declared Tom's father himself despite I knowing that Tom himself was cloned and created by the High Council group."

I heard the male voice sigh like a human and heard the male spoke in response "I give my loyalty towards Tom himself as my offspring in case anyone listening to this story cares to know."

I didn't comment a word in response as the male's voice spoke the story involving meeting a human female named Tomah who's pointed out to be Tom's mother, she a part of a species dubbed Moorra by his species the Keos. I kept my mouth shut as the male Keo known as Thurin continued his tale I listening with rapt attention finding the story seemed interesting and got my mind off being in containment. I found the Meritanians in response didn't balk Thurin's storytelling instead ignored Thurin speaking his tale by sometimes snickering into my mind like they were telling a joke as the male continued speaking his story. I heard the mysterious female in purple clicking away onto her device as Thurin spoke his story I figured out her device was a recording device to recording talk but I wasn't sure of her musical clicking method. I figured I'll ask later once Thurin quit his storytelling with interrupted input by Tom himself. Tom kept interrupting to add input talk to Thurin's story to my annoyance despite both was getting my mind off my containment's tube trap status. I found myself compelled to comment from time to time during father/son's storytelling with questions I realizing the Meritanians were manipulating me to speak those annoying questions. I also realized that the Hall of Thousand Voices' had recorders into the room for the High Council to eavesdrop trapped people speaking tales of stories of their life to order Tank or Merra to give trapped people commentary compulsion to ask questions. I heard nothing more from Thurin in response to his talk like he finished the tale ending with the story of Tomah shot to death by a Keo soon after her offspring was operated out of her.

I heard Thurin give off a human sound of disgust followed by the male speaking "How am I supposed to know that my original son born by Tomah survived the taken out and brain washed to serve the High Council?"

I thought Thurin was referring to Tom himself as I spoke "You meant your own son Tom himself?"

I got from Tom in response "I'm not Thurin's original son born from Tomah. I'm a clone born from a cloning machine courtesy of the High Council desperate for a Human or First One with loyalties to serve that group without questioning their orders. It's who I am."  
I heard the regret in Tom's voice tone as I heard Thurin spoke "Nevertheless on where you came from Tom, your still my offspring, I value and cherish."

I heard the pride and agreement in Thurin's voice tone kept my mouth shut in response as Tom spoke "That son a hybrid of yours, Father, what do you know of him?"

Thurin spoke "You're always my son, Tom even if you're not fathered by me. I considered you born of Tomah even though my son born of her is elsewhere at the moment."

I spoke "Tom, just accept that the High Council's brainwashing got Thurin to believe that you are his son and not that hybrid offspring born of Tomah herself."

I heard a sigh from Tom followed by hearing "I love you daddy."  
"I love you my son," I heard from Thurin.

I was confused to the word love but figured it involved a sign of affection towards humanoids speaking it which I heard silence from both seemingly lengthy.

I frowned as I heard "Don't you, Jason gets a story to speak?"

I heard the voice sounded female and familiar to me sounding twin to my voice tone despite unsure of why.

I spoke "Who's asking me that question anyway?"

The female spoke "Its I Victoria Montreal Thunder mate of Tom Mindbender Thunder, Recorder of the High Council's Hall of Thousand Voices asking you Jason that question. So answer it."

I realized with a start why she sounded familiar I spoke "You're the female version of me cloned?"

"Correct in one!" I heard from Tank laughing loudly into my mind who added "Talk more of that subject and I'll dump you into the volcano as you First Ones' call eaters mountains."

I heard nothing from father/son in response as Victoria I figured I'll call her that name as heard spoke "I'll tell you sometime of my creation when it's appropriate."

I heard the sadness of her voice tone like she was upset with something and struggling not to be sad enough to cry.

Tank blare "Sticky Vicky I got a tale for you to type by your thing the laptop."

"I hate the name Sticky Vicky!" I heard from Victoria who added "I'll type that tale down anyway as long as you Meritanians quit that usage of the joker name."

I got Tank going into his tale ignoring Victoria's commentary I forced to listen despite Merra commenting from time to time with laughing commentary despite the big three Meritanians, Ramses, Terra and Erra ignoring the talk them still blaring overhead their laughter. I found Tank's tale involved a retelling of my story being the first contact between Meritanians and High Council told in the plants' point of view. I remained contained into my tube trap with sadness hitting me I'm forced to listen to people telling tales and myself speaking stories to get people's and my minds off containment.

The End.
