"Echo."
Nina calls out his name and jumping towards him. He catches her nad the two hug, while Lily is hiding behind Echos back. While the two are hugging, Echo turns the sign on the door to closed, so they wouldn't be disturbed.
As they keep hugging each other, he can hear Skyeza running down the stairs, probably as she heard his name being called out. When she gets down, Echo looks at her and sees, how tears of joy start to flow out of her eyes. She too dashes over to him and hugs him, while giving him a deep and passionate kiss.
She missed him so much and when she finally saw her dear lover, she couldn't control herself and now, was hugging him.
The three stay like that for a minute, before Nina asks"By the way Echo...Who is she?"
She looks at the short dragonkin girl, who is hiding behind his back and holding onto his coat. Skyeza looks at her two, and the two woman take a few steps awa. Echo himself, grabs her and lifts her in front of him"This here is Lily, a dragonkin."
"Hi."she says in a shy voice, as she doesn't like strangers.
"Hey." "Hello." Skyeza and Nina greed her, while looking at her. Immediately, after letting go of her, she goes behind his back and stares at the girls.
"Come now. We have so much to ask."Nina says and walks to the backroom, with Echo walking after her and grabbing Skyeza with him. He enters to the familiar kitchen, which he last saw over six months ago.
They pull up a chair and sit down on it. Lily is put on Echo lap, as she finds it the most comfortable place for her. She hides her face in his bosom, while the two girls look at her with a little envy seeable in their faces. As for Kuro, she just looks at her older sister and is happy to see her happy finally.

"Huuuh. Where should I start?"he asks himself and Skyeza says"From the start."
"Well.....
*Six months ago.*
Echo slowly woke up, while laying on a bed. He looked around with a confused face and when he tried to remember, he couldn't remember anything.
As he stared around, he suddenly felt something nibbleing his right shoulder, so he looked to his right, to see Acedia there, with her fangs out and nibbleing him.
"Right....I became a vampire."he mutters, as he starts to remember what happened. Slowly, he recovers his memories, but still has blank spot about a person and a few events.
"[Status]"he mutters and in front oh him, the familiar blue screen appears.

"The fuck is a Mutated Vampire?"he asks himself while muttering and the turning his head, to look at the ceiling. He still could feel Acedia nibbleing him.
So starting to get tired of her nibbleing, he slowly gets out of the bed, so he wouldn't wake her. He then looks around the room and sees, that it's a pretty huge bedroom with a gigantic bed. Like it's ten meters wide and four meters long.
After looking around the room, he can't find any of his clothes and so, he sits back at the bed and immediately feels teeth sinking into his neck and his blood being sucked. The feeling is weird, but good in its own way.
After a minute, the fangs are pulled out and Acedia behind him, says"Thanks for the meal."

"Your welcome."he replies and just look at the wall, while enjoying the feeling of having breasts being pressed against his back.
But because he doesn't want to stay naked the entire day, he decides to ask"So where are my clothes."
"Destroyed."she replies to him.
"So what should I wear then?"he asks her and she simply replies"Think about wearing clothes and your body will create it."
"Okay."he replies with an un assure voice and tries to do that. He thinks about clothes, that a vampire would wear and after opening his eyes, he looks at his clothes, to see his new dark coloured clothes.
"Dark."Acedia comments and gets off from the bed and steps onto the ground, while her black dress is being formed.
After her dress is formed, she turns around and looks at Echo.
"So what power did you get?"she asks him.
At first, he doesn't quite get it, but after thinking for a few seconds, he answers"[Transformation]"
"Ooh. So you can turn into animals. Not bad."she says and steps closer to him.
"You don't smell like a vampire."she says, after sniffing a few times near him.
"Maybe because I am a Mutated Vampire?"he suggests to her, who thinks for a few minutes, before answering to him"Probably. Your blood tastes weird and maybe this caused you to become a Mutated Vampire instead of High Vampire."
She then smiles and says"This mean...We have to find out what you can do?"
The next moment, they are in a circular room with four pillars and weapon stands filled with different kinds of weapons. Without a word, she takes a sword and stabs through his stomach.
"What the hell?"he asks, while looking at her.
"Just testing."she replies and pulls the bloody blade out of his stomach. Immediately, she could see, how the wound had almost already closed and with two seconds, there wasn't even a scratch left.
"Okay."she says and the without hesitation, he cuts off his entire arm, but because Echo can't feel pain, he doesn't scream, but instead says"Seriously. Stop wounding me."
Acedia doesn't say anything back and watched, how the entire arm regrows in five seconds and his clothes after that.
"Okay. You heal three times faster as a normal vampire."she says and then, they disappear in the room, to appear in a green field.
The sun is high up in the sky and Acedia, who is shielding her eyes from the sun with her hands, asks"Do you feel weak."
"No."Echo answers to her and they disappear again, in another field, but this time, the moon is shining in the sky.
"How about now?"she asks her, while looking at him.
"I feel stronger."he answers her.
Having gotten her answers, she teleports back to the bedroom and she lies down on the bed.
She looks at him, while her clothes disappear and says"You're immune to sunlight and are more powerful during night. You heal fast too. So I have concluded, that you bear resemblance to Ancient Vampires."
"And that is good?"he asks her in an un assure voice.
"Very."she replies"But now... undress and do it. Haven't done it a century."
He is slightly surprised by her sudden words, but because he won't refuse a good offer, he takes off his clothes, immediately seeing Acedia staring at his dick.
"This is gonna be good."she mutters.

Nobles rule over everyone, little more than warlords. The middle class wants to make a buck and become nobles. And the rats want to survive. But everyone wants a piece of the ancient technology lost to mankind hundreds of years ago. Find one piece and it could change your life forever. For better or worse. This is my second attempt at a story. I haven't been writing for more than 3 or 4 months all combined. I hope to improve as I go. This is first and foremost a learning experience for me.

8 187The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
