Blood scattered on the ground as three heads fell to the ground. Two were male, one was female. All of them were human gods that had been part of the heaven for thousands of years and carried out numerous duties to ensure the suppression over the other gods and races.

Now all three were dead, their bodies headless as they fell to the wet ground.

This street had always been wet and always dark, just like after a nightly rain.

“Even after 12000 years they still don’t learn their lesson.”, a young man wiped the blood off his hand using a white handkerchief. Next, he cleansed his face of the scattered drops of blood. With a thought of his, the blood that had already dried on his hair and clothes was brushed of by a sudden breeze just like dust that disappeared into the world.

After he had cleaned himself up he looked at a certain building some distance away. A bright neon sign said:

A Dragon’s Dream.

The man sighed. “Nothing has changed here either…”, he walked towards the pub and entered through the black door. Inside the first thing he heard was roaring laughter coming from three individuals in the backside of the pub.

The man clenched his fist, his eyebrows flinched.

“HOW CAN IT BE THAT AFTER TWELF THOUSAND YEARS NOTHING IN THIS DAMN WORLD HAS CHANGED??? IT’S BEEN FUCKING TWELF THOUSAND YEARS!!!”, his voice echoed through the suddenly deadly silent pub.

For a moment the man felt awkward, then suddenly booming laughter once again filled the room.

“Lil’ Zed, still the same as all those years ago!”, one of the three culprits, a woman wearing a white traditional eastern-european outfit. Her face was flushed from the strong wine she had already drunk and she had loosed most of the buttons that held together her top.

Two large mountains of flesh could be seen through the white fabric.

“Ah long time not seen, Zed you lil’ rascal, how has it been running away from those bad humans?”, another of the three, a middle aged man with messy blond hair roared, obviously drunken to the extreme.

“Come sit down, drink with us before we go to the meetup!”, the last one, more or less somber said.

Zed closed his eyes.

“How the fuck do I even know you bunch of embarrassing old people?”, he really seemed to be embarrassed to be seen with them.

The woman frowned and pushed her two large breast with her hands.

“Do those look like they are old?”

“THAT’S NOT THE POINT!”, Zed almost died in embarrassment.

“Oh Zed, you are finally here?!”, Tian appeared from the door hidden behind the bar. He looked over to the three drunken gods and an amused smile curled on his lips.

“Shouldn’t you guys hurry up and get ready to meet up with Ji?”, he asked.

“Finally, a proper human being!”, Zed almost cried.

…

Saji finished sketching after working for about two hours. A detailed sketch of a girl laid on her table. She was small and slender with two wings growing on her back. She wore a beautiful dress embroidered with motives of dragons and phenixes.

It was a well-done sketch and Saji was very satisfied with herself.

Suddenly someone nocked on the door.

“Lady Saji?”, a girly voice came from the other side of the room.

Saji turned around. “Come in!”

The door opened, and Jae entered the room carrying a large bag.

“I have a message and a present from Lady Kelin.”, she said after taking a few steps inside and putting the back to the ground.

“She says”, Jea changed her voice into Kelin’s mature and gentle voice. “This evening we will welcome important guests, change into the outfit Jea brought you.”, she stopped speaking and picked up the back again. She closed the distance to Seji and gave her the bag.

“Please try them on.”, she said.

Saji looked at the bag her expression grim. She pulled out the clothes inside.

A short leather jacket, slim pants and two rolls of bandages.

“It could have been worse…”, she said, honestly surprised that it wasn’t something totally outrageous.

She took the bandages and pulled her sweater up. Jea’s face flushed and she turned around. Saji ignored her and began to wrap the bandages around her hips, two times until the most important spot wasn’t visible anymore. Then she pulled the remaining roll and pulled it between her legs, once around one leg, over her hip to the other leg and once again between her legs.

The bandages now formed a kind of very skimpy panties.

Saji took of the rest of the sweater exposing her smallish breast to the light of the room. She took the second bandage roll and simply wrapped it three times around her breast.

“You can turn around again”, Saji grinned.

Jea timidly turned around and saw Saji in her rather ‘interesting’ underwear. Her face was still flushed, but she didn’t turn around again.

Saji took the pants and put them on. They stuck tight to her skin and barely reached over the bandages. Next, she took the leather jacket and put it on. She buttoned up the knots until it wasn’t visible that she only wore bandages beneath.

Both the jacket and the pants were rather tightfitting, and the jacket was so short that Saji’s stomach was fully in the open.

She struck a lewd pose and Jea turned even more embarrassed.

“T-there is more to the message.”, she stuttered in her embarrassment. Her voice changed again.

“Tell that girl that she should put the insignia Ji gave her at the same spot you did.”, when she finished reciting the message Jea pinned her eyes to the floor.

Saji shrugged. “And where is that?”

Jea almost exploded.

Trembling the fumbled at her red skirt until it loosened and fell to the ground. A pair of low-leg panties came into Saji`s view. Jea slightly pulled up her t-shirt.

There on her stomach, only a few millimeters above the fabric of the very, very short panties, a symbol with the shape of a black oak leave was tattooed into the small girls body.

It was a very lewd place to put such an symbol and Saji instantly understood the underlying meaning behind this location.

But by this point she was already desensitized to this kind of things.

She tiredly nodded.

“You can dress again.”

Jea nodded and hurried to put on her skirt again. With a boiling red head she ran outside the room. Saji was left alone and went to her desk. There on the wooden surface was the insignia of the most powerful god amongst the human gods.

She picked it up.

She pulled her pants down a little and pressed it down onto her body.

Saji closed her eyes. She breathed in and exhaled slowly. Then she exited the room.

She walked out of the house and headed right into the forest. The sun was setting and slowly but surely the usual nightlife of the forest began to pick up. Strange sounds echoed across the woods, fire spirits formed caravans as they wandered in the twilight. Here and there she could see fairies flying around in their usual lively manners.

Somehow every time Saji came into the forest it seemed to become a little larger and its inhabitants seemed to become more numerous and diverse. She run across a small whitish spirit with the appearance of a small buddha statue. It stared at her for a moment, then it decided to disappear like it had never been there.

After almost ten minutes of marching she had finally reached the clearing with the large, ancient tree.

There she saw Kelin, wearing beautiful white dress, accompanied by Jea who wore only underwear. Her black oak tattoo was in plain sight and gave off a mysterious glow. Her young face was flushed in embarrassment and she refused to lift her eyes from the ground.

Aside from those two there was Ji who was followed by Rey and another unknown old man. When Ji saw Saji his eyebrows shot up and his eyes widened. Saji could swear that for a moment there was a hint of red on his cheeks, but it disappeared to fast to be sure.

“…Kelin?”, he asked awkwardly.

“I DON’T want to talk about it…”, Saji simply replied. The old man behind Ji suddenly laughed.

“So, after all those years you haven’t become impotent after all!”, he said laughing.

Both Ji and Saji froze.

“What?!”, Ji said almost shouting a little.

“Haven’t you noticed where she placed your insignia?”, the old man asked confused.

Ji turned his yes to Saji and quickly glanced over his body. When he saw the tattoo on Saji’s lower stomach his entire body seemed to freeze over. His eyes almost seemed to have popped out of his head.

He had to force himself to not attack Kelin right there. Instead he clenched his trembling fists and waited for a moment until he had calmed down a bit.

“We will talk about… ‘that’ later…”, he pointed at the insignia.

Saji just shrugged her shoulders. “I’m yours either way so where is the problem?”, the one day with Kelin had really changed her worldview in an extreme way.

This time Ji’s face truly turned red for a moment. The old man laughed heartily.

“This is how a young lad should be!”, he exclaimed and patted Saji’s shoulder.

Ji was about to say something, when suddenly a small flame appeared right in front of the ancient tree. It was only about as large as a fist and calmly floated in the air. It’s red flames gently flickered in the light breeze of the evening.

Then it began to move. It shot a few meters to the side, then upwards, curved and arc and returned to it’s original position. There it divided itself into two exactly same flames. Those two began to move again and slowly formed a circle of fire. The circle expanded until it reached the size of an grown man, then it turned into a large ball of fire.

The whole forest lightened up in response.

Then a person stepped out of the fire.

He was a young man with short black hair and a very annoyed expression. As soon as he saw Ji he went up to him and got on his knee.

A second person stepped out of the fire, once again a male, but this time he was middle aged and had blonde hair. He took a short look around and then also went up to Ji and kneeled next to the other man.

The third person was a woman wearing a traditional eastern-european outfit. She did the same as the two before her.

A third man followed behind her and similarly kneeled before Ji.

“We greet thu, Ji, wise sage and pillar of the human race!”, all three said in unison.
