*Earth – Caelum’s POV*
We continued to eat our food after the incident with Dudly. We chatted about random things and Violetta even tried to thank me. She smiled at me when I finished my food., “Thanks for that babe.” I raised an eyebrow, “For what?” She smiled again, “For standing up for me with that guy.” I laughed, “You don’t need to thank me for that. It was what I am supposed to do and something I wanted to do, besides you could have handled him yourself if you wanted too.” Flarea snorted, “That is beside the point, you stuck up for your woman. That is a quality that any man should have.”
I looked at her and saw that she was smiling, but when she saw me looking she frowned and stuck her tongue out at me. I laughed and shook my head. The waiter gave me the bill, along with all the other bills I said I would pay, and we checked out. We left the restaurant and I threw the key to Flarea this time, “You can drive this time.” She flashed a fake smile and got into the driver’s seat.
I got into the back seat while Violetta sat in the passenger. The back seat was very cramped and it was definitely not made for someone of my height. I ended up riding with my legs going across the other seat and my back against the side of the car. I don’t know where Flarea was taking us, but she was leaving the city so I decided to rest my eyes.
I don’t know how long it had been, but I was awoken by the classic “woop woop” of police sirens. I sat up some and looked out the back window, as much as I could, and saw that we were on the interstate and we had been pulled over by a highway patrol. I sighed, “Flarea what were you doing?” She looked back at me and shrugged, “I was just traveling down the interstate talking to Violetta.” I raised an eyebrow, “How fast were you going?” She shrugged her shoulders again, “Probably around a buck fifty.”
I sighed again and leaned back. The officer walked up to the window of the car and tapped on the glass. Flarea rolled down the window, “Good evening officer.” There was another feminine sounding voice from outside, “Evening, do you know exactly how fast you were traveling?” I perked up a bit at the sound of the voice. It was a very familiar voice, one that I didn’t think I would hear again.
Flarea spoke again, “Yeah, somewhere between seventy and eighty.” I heard a small tongue click, “No mam, you were going around one hundred and fifty miles per hour. That is well above the legal speed limit and it is actually at the reckless driving stage. I am going to have to ask you to step out of the car.” I looked back and saw that a second highway patrol was pulling up behind the first.
That’s about normal; its dark now and almost all officers are required to have some sort of back up after dark, even if it’s just a normal traffic violation. Flarea instantly cooperated with the officer and stepped out of the vehicle. She walked to the front of the officer’s car and stood there. The officer started to question her and get all the information she needed. The second officer that pulled up behind her came over to the passenger side of the car and asked for Violetta and I to step out of the vehicle as well.

Violetta got out and then the officer pulled the seat up so I could get out as well. When I got out of the car I heard that familiar voice again, “Well I’ll be, is that you Caelum?” I looked over at the officer that was questioning Flarea. The woman was about as tall as Violetta and had almost exactly the same figure, except for her breasts. They were only around the D or DD-cup in size. Her hair was black and straight. She always liked to keep it draped over one of her eyes which is a big turn on for me.
I smiled at her, “Hey Aunt Veronica.” She smiled at me, “Just call me Veronica, I ain’t your aunt any more. Your Uncle Joe and I split up a few years back.” I didn’t know that they split up, Veronica isn’t related to me by blood and I only saw her and my Uncle Joe a couple of times in my life. I haven’t seen her in almost eight years and I didn’t know if I ever would again.
I laughed, “I see they finally let you out of the office.” She laughed, “Yeah, been on patrol for almost five years now. I hated having to sit at the desk and answer the phones all the time.” Veronica was around ten years older than me which put her in her mid-thirties, but she still looked very appealing to the eyes.
Veronica looked at the car and then looked back at me, “You’re stepping up in the world it looks like.” I smiled, “It’s not my car V.” I used to call her Aunt V every time I saw her when I was younger, so I just took the Aunt part off this time. She was about to say something, but I felt an arm wrap around mine, “What are you talking about dear. What’s mine is yours remember?”
I laughed and rubbed the back of my head, “Is that so?” Violetta rubbed a finger down my chest, “Of course it is babe.” I looked back at Veronica and she was staring at Violetta with a weird expression on her face. She looked back at me and smiled, “Why don’t you introduce us Caelum.” I smiled, “Violetta this is Veronica, she used to be my Aunt. Veronica this is Violetta, my…”
Violetta spoke up before I could, “Hi I’m his girlfriend nice to meet you.” She reached her hand out towards Veronica. Veronica stiffly shook her hand and smile at her, “Veronica, pleased to meet you.” I glared at Violetta; I could have sworn she said she was okay with other woman, but I honestly can’t remember. I still don’t know why Veronica is acting like she is talking to a crush that was with their significant other. I don’t remember her giving me those vibes at all when I saw her.
Violetta grabbed my arm again and then Veronica went back to questioning Flarea. We walked over to the back of the car and leaned against it while the other trooper was watching us. I looked at Violetta, “I could of sworn you said you were fine with other woman or at least you weren’t the extremely jealous type.” She shrugged her shoulders, “I may have and I may have not. I’m not the extremely jealous type, but I do like to mess with people.” She looked up at me, “Including you babe.” She leaned against me and I let out a sigh. She went up and whispered in my ear, “I think she likes you. Want me to talk to her for you?” I grinned and pinched her on the side of her waist. She yelped and I grinned at her, “I don’t know what you’re talking about and even if she did, I could talk to her myself.”

She snorted, “Whatever you say babe.” I sighed, I will never understand women. Veronica and Flarea walked over to us. Veronica looked at Violetta hugging on my arm still for a few seconds before she spoke, “I have given your friend here a ticket for going twenty over the speed limit.” I raised an eyebrow, “Twenty?” She nodded, “Yes, she has been issued the ticket and warned that she should watch her speed very closely from now on.”
I decided not to question her and smiled, “Thanks V.” She smiled back and slightly turned her head, “No need to thank me. I didn’t do anything.” Veronica handed me the keys to the car and I felt her fingers drag across my palm. I raised an eyebrow, but I didn’t say anything. My arm felt fine so I said goodbye to Veronica and then we all piled into the car. I was putting my seat belt on when there was a knock at the window.
I rolled the window down and Veronica was handing me a slip of paper. She smiled, “Here is my number Caelum, text me sometime.” I smiled back, “Okay.” I took the paper and put it in my pocket. She walked back to her squad car while I pulled back out onto the interstate. I looked at Violetta, “I think you may be right.” Her and Flarea started laughing their asses off. After a few minutes of laughter Violetta spoke up, “I knew I was right, we woman have an intuition about these things.”
Flarea spoke up, “Are you talking about the officer that has the hots for Caelum?” I looked back at Flarea, “What makes you think she likes me?” Flarea laughed again, “Her body temperature was high man.” I furrowed my brows, “Maybe she was getting sick.” She shook her head, “Her body temperature was fine when she had me get out of the car, but when she saw you it skyrocketed. She literally has the hots for you man.”
I sighed, “I don’t know why she would though. I mean the last time I saw her she was my Aunt, even if it was by marriage.” Violetta laughed again, “It probably has something to do with your power.” I raised an eyebrow, “My power?” She nodded, “Yeah, you can control every element; well you will be able to, so that means that you control the element of love as well.”
I widened my eyes, “Element of love? Really?” She nodded, “Yeah, it is under the light power tree so you’re not really able to control it well meaning that anyone that likes men and has a good view of you will be drawn romantically towards you. Now if they are blood related and aren’t into the whole incest thing then it won’t affect them at all. It only affects someone that is willing to be romantically involved with you.” I sighed, “At least I don’t have to worry about the whole incest tag.”
Flarea raised an eyebrow, “Tag?” I laughed, “Nothing, forget it.” She shrugged her shoulders and leaned back in the seat. I found out that Flarea actually took us a few hundred miles from the city and we were close to the Oklahoma and Texas border. I was driving and talking to Violetta for almost an hour before I heard Flarea snoring slightly from the back seat.
I was tempted to jerk the car or something to wake her up, but some movement at the crotch of my pants stopped me. I looked down and saw an arm reaching across from the passenger seat. I looked over and saw Violetta smiling at me. She got my pants pulled down a little and then slipped her hand inside of my boxers. I felt her hand wrap around my dick and she slid it out from its confinement.
She looked at me, “I have been wanting to try something lately, so just continue to drive.” I did exactly as she told me too and I looked back at the road. A few seconds later I felt moistness around my dick. I glanced down and saw her head bobbing up and down between my legs. The sight caused me to get a little harder and it surprised her. She pulled back up, “Pay attention to the road dear.”
I looked back at the road and continued to drive. For the next fifteen minutes I could feel her constantly going up and down my shaft and it was sending waves of pleasure through my body. I groaned a little and I could feel myself getting close to my limit. The was some rustling coming from the back and I heard another voice, “Man, she is really going to town on that thing.” The voice was right next to my ear and it sounded sultry as hell.
I ended up shooting my load at the sound of her voice. Violetta let out a muffled sound, but she kept her head down. After a couple minutes she finally sat back up in her seat. She used her hand and wiped her mouth, “Did you enjoy that babe?” I was red as hell and hook my thumb towards the back seat. She looked and saw that Flarea was leaning forward and watching the show. She yelped, “You were supposed to be asleep!”
Flarea laughed, “I was taking a nap, but the lewd noises you were making woke me up. I leaned up here and saw that you was going to town on his dick. I had been watching for a good five or six minutes towards the end. I was honestly surprised you were able to take that beast in your mouth.” I coughed and tried to change the subject, “Did you enjoy your nap?”
She cut her eyes at me, “Trying to change the subject even while she is stroking your dick?” I instantly felt that Violetta was indeed still gripping me and stroking up and down. I looked at her, “I think that is enough for now babe.” She nodded slightly and then put my cock back into its cage.
Flarea snorted, “You didn’t have to stop just for little old lonely me.” I coughed a little and then concentrated on the road. We pulled into the garage almost an hour later and all got out of the car. It was like three in the morning and Flarea yawned, “Well I am going to head to bed. You two try and keep it down now.” She left the garage and Violetta and I were left in silence. I sighed, “I will never understand some people, especially if they are female.” Violetta laughed, “Everybody is different and if you know them long enough you can understand them.”
I sighed, “I really want to go on a mission or something now. Feels like I am being cooped up in here.” Katarina came into the garage at that point, “How about registering yourself as a mercenary then?” I looked at her and saw that she was still in the same clothes that she was wearing when we left. I raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you sleep?” She laughed, “Not really. Once you hit the power level required to have an immortal body you really don’t need sleep.”
I nodded, “I see, but aren’t I already a mercenary?” She nodded, “You are a registered mercenary on earth, but I meant register as a mercenary in the universe. It will be a great way for you to gain strength and control over your powers.” I nodded, “I could do that, but am I really strong enough to make it on my own in the universe?” She shook her head, “No you’re not, but Flarea agreed to be your teacher, which means that she will be traveling with you.”
Violetta spoke up, “What about me?” Katarina spoke to her, “You have to stay here for now and do your job.” Violetta pouted, “But mom. Someone else could easily teach in my place.” Katarina shook her head, “No buts, you are going to stay here.” She took something from her bra and threw it towards me. I reflectively caught it and saw that it was some sort of wrist band. I looked at her, “What is this?
She took a drink of some whisky that appeared out of nowhere and then spoke, “Put it on.” I did as she said and slid the band onto my left wrist. She took another drink and then tapped on the top of the wrist band. A holographic screen popped up an inch above the band. The screen looked just like a normal cell phone screen except for ti was holographic. I widened my eyes, “What the hell.”
Katarina took another drink and pointed at the screen, “This wrist band is a Uni-Phone which is short for Universal Phone. It will act just like a cell phone from earth, except on a universal scale. There are Muni-Phones and Demi-Phones and out there, but you don’t need one of those just yet.” I raised an eyebrow, “Muni-Phone? Dime-Phone?” She laughed, “Multi Universal Phone and Dimensional Phone. One works across universes and the other works in almost all dimensions.”
I asked her another question, “What is the difference between a universe and a dimension?” She took another drink before answering, “Honestly a universe and a dimension are basically the same thing, but a dimension and a universe aren’t” I furrowed my brows, “Do what?” She laughed, “The universes were created by the same power and basically run on the same wavelength with minute differences. The Muni-Phone is able to see these differences and convert the information into the type of wavelength needed to transfer from one to the other. Dimensions on the other hand are made by different powers or even the actual universes. A Dime-Phone is able to read the wavelength of the dimension and then actually upgrade its software and store the wavelength it registered. Then it works in the same way as a Muni-Phone.”
I nodded, “So basically this phone works everywhere in this universe and if I need to travel to another universe I need to get a Muni-Phone?” She nodded, “Eventually you will be able to afford a Dime-Phone and you will definitely need to get one in your line of work, but that comes later.” I nodded and then played with the screen for a minute before I noticed that Katarina, Flarea, and Violetta’s numbers were stored in the contacts. Violetta and Katarina’s contact information even gave me their location. It only said that they were on the planet Earth in the Milky Way galaxy.
I pulled out the piece of paper from my pocket and entered the phone number into my contacts. Her name, number, and picture popped up on the screen. I widened my eyes, “It even puts a picture for people that I add automatically?” Katarina nodded and took another drink before speaking, “Yes, it has access to the universal internet. It will search internets from every planet until it finds a verified picture of the person whose name and number you put in it. If there is no picture when you add a phone number then that person either has a very high access in one of the universal governments or they have stayed of the grid as much as they can.”
I widened my eyes, “Universal internet? Sounds fun.” Violetta elbowed me in the side and smiled, “Pervert.” I rubbed my side, “I didn’t do anything though!” She stepped up to me, “You going to miss me?” I smiled and then gave her a kiss, “Of course I am going to miss you.” She smiled, “Try to keep the number of lovers to single digits though.” I stiffened up and coughed, “Should be easy enough.”
She grinned and then pinched my side causing me to yelp. I rubbed my side and watched as she sashayed away. I enjoyed the view as she left and then looked back at Katarina. She was just standing there smiling while she drank her whisky. I raised an eyebrow, “You drink enough of that already?” She shook her head and took another drink, “Sadly when you reach a certain power Earth alcohol isn’t strong enough to really get you drunk. The taste of whisky is still amazing so I drink it like normal humans drink soda.”
I laughed and shook my head at her. Right about this time Flarea came back into the garage. She looked over at me and then back at Katarina, “You tell him?” She nodded, “Yeah, he knows.” Flarea nodded her head, “Good.” She looked at me, “I guess we should register you as a mercenary for hire now.” She picked up the necklace she was wearing and a holographic screen appeared just like my wrist band.
I raised an eyebrow again, “Why is hers not a wrist band?” Flarea answered without looking up from her screen, “All the phones come in different types of accessories such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and even dick rings.” I raised an eyebrow again, “Seriously? A phone on someone’s dick?” She shrugged her shoulders, “There are some weird people out there man. Such as people who get their dicks sucked while there is another passenger in the car.”
I coughed and turned my head away. I saw that Katarina had an interested look on her face, but it quickly vanished. Flarea finally put her phone up and looked at me, “I have registered you on the universal mercenary list. You are a Class 9 mercenary right now, but the more missions you do the higher your class can go.” I nodded, “How are the mercenary classes set up?” She shrugged, “They are pretty basic. The lowest is Class 9 then, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, King, Immortal, Demi-God, and God Class.”
I nodded, “There are God Class Mercenaries?” She waved her hand, “There are God Class mercenaries and God Class Teams.” I furrowed my brows, “What is the difference?” She answered me, “A God Class Mercenary is someone at the Galactic Fighter in strength, but a God Class Team is any team that has completed at least five God Class missions. Their individual strengths can be as high or as low as they want, but they have to at least complete those five missions to be qualified as a God Class Team.”
Before I could speak she continued, “If a team were to have a God Class Mercenary on their team then they are already counted as a God Class Team even without completing the missions.” I nodded, “That makes sense.” I then asked another question that I wanted to know, “You mentioned God Class missions. Does that mean there are gods in the universes?”
She shook her head, “The word God is ultimately a title given by those of lesser power. It basically means anything that could affect things on a planetary scale such as the complete destruction of a planet.” I nodded, “Okay, then is there anything higher?”
She nodded, “There is, but I wasn’t going to tell you about them yet. You did ask so I will at least tell you some. There are two more classes of mercenary known as Dragon and Titan. Titan is after God and Dragon is after Titan. Titan class mercenaries and missions are things that can affect entire galaxies. As you probably have already guessed Dragon class mercenaries and missions affect entire universes. Titan class mercenaries are Galactic Kings in strength and Dragon class are Universal Powers.”
She stopped for a minute to let the information sink in before she continued to speak, “Dragon class mercenaries are rare, because most Universal Powers aren’t as many in numbers. There are actually more Dragon Teams than there are Dragon Mercenaries. By the way Dragon Teams are the same as God Teams; except for they have to complete two Dragon Class missions and not five. Titan Teams have to complete three Titan Class mission.”
I was shocked, “Are there really that many things that can affect whole galaxies and universes?” She laughed, “There actually are, but they are usually a whole lot of little things that come together on a big scale. Such as the pirate armada that was annihilated by Xavier thousands of years ago. They were very close to taking over one of the major universal governments and then taking control of that universe. Well the Universal Power of that universe was killed by a Dragon Class creature so he stepped in to help.”
I raised an eyebrow, “Dragon Class creatures now? Seriously?” Katarina laughed, “There are a lot of things that may sounds stupid or things you don’t understand, but if you just ask Flarea questions she should be able to answer most of them.” I sighed and rubbed my temple, “Okay, I guess some things can be answered at a later time, but I do want to know one thing.” Flarea raised an eyebrow, “What is that?” I smiled, “I don’t know if we are going to use the same code name as here on Earth so what is my mercenary code name?”

8 229Rantings of the Broken
These are poems of my thoughts. Since I can't talk to people about them, I need to talk to someone about my thoughts, even if they're reading it over a screen. They may be dark and you may see the brokeness inside, but hopefully I will be able to find hope and a reason to live. If you don't want to read the story, that doesn't offend me. You'll just be ignoring the cries of the broken.

Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends twenty-eight years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued.
