Lari slithered around the house still asleep until she ran straight into a wall startling her and waking her up immediately. She fell on the floor flailing for a couple seconds before she realized what had happened. She grunted angrily and got up to start un-stacking the apartment. She went around the house looking for things she had stacked and started unstacking in her room. She finished and moved on to see what else she had sleepily stacked when she saw one of the doors was open slightly. She peeked in to see Finch passed out on the bed next to a large lump in the sheets. She also noticed things in this room were stacked as well so she came in to clean up when she saw the book on the floor. She recognized it immediately as a book used and spread by the mad guild. She also noticed the robe from the mad guild sitting on the dresser. Lari immediately closed the book, taking it and the robe to hide it away. Being an official in this city she was privy to many things the city's council had gotten rid of and the evidence they had buried. The mad guild was a big problem they had dealt with years ago and she had no intention of letting it happen again.

She felt bad but she would have to report her guest to the council. Lari went back into his room and finished unstacking things after leaving the robe and book on her bed. She noticed the lump in the bed next to finch started moving and pulled back the blankets to reveal a Lamis that was giggling in her sleep. She must be going through what all lamia go through at around that age. A weird period of growth where our snakey instincts run wild, we almost unconsiously seek warmth and taste the air with our tounges. She had gotten the lisp a little early but that was normal in some lamia girls. Their tongues grow long and they have trouble talking with it at first, but as their body grows they learn how to control their tongues better. At least that better be the reason she was in his bed, or Lari would show him just how much like snakes the lamia's really are. She unhinged her jaw almost unconsiously like she was making a point.

Lari carried her little sister back into her room after resituating her jaw and tucked her in. Afterwards she went back into her own room and collected the robe and book, slithered into the living room and set them down on the table. She then picked up a smooth object from the table and sat down on the couch. The smooth object looked like a polished rock that was shaped like a flat shoe with no hole for the foot. One side had rubber buttons arranged in a small grid with holes above and below the buttons. She took one last look at the book and robe to make absolutely sure and then she pressed the rubber buttons and raised it to her left ear. It only took a couple of seconds before someone answered with a very high pitched voice and happy tone.

"Hello! you have reached the office of the council of Harendia how may I help you?"

Lari rolled her eyes at the happy tone of the receptionist at the office. She was the only harpy that worked in the office and she was always sickeningly happy. Lari didnt actually dislike her, she just tried to avoid talking to the harpy girl because she would always try to rope you into a conversation that would devolve into the harpy simply talking at you while you stand there and nod.

"Hi Pinea its me, Lari. I need an investigator and some guards at my place. I found some evidence of the dark guild being here again."

"OH that sounds AWEFULL, Ill get them over there right away! anything else I can do for you Lari?"

"no thats it, thank you Pinea."

"OKI-Dokies, Ill get that done in a jiffy just like that last time-"

"Ok, Ive gotta go thank you Pinea"

"Oh ok bye" She said, then she hung up. She almost got caught up in Pinea's hourlong conversations and was glad that this was a phone call because it was considerably harder to escape it in person.

Lari sighed and waited for the investigator to show up with the guards. Lamis seemed to like the elf and she had so few friends, she seemed to have very little interest in other children her age and spent little time with others. Lari was very worried about her sister, especially when she disappeared the other day. But when she came back she seemed happy and she actually showed interest in other people for once. Vylet seemed to be about the same age and Lamis got along really well with her. Hopefully they will still be friends even after Finch is arrested.

**************************************************************************************************

 Rala had started by telling me that she was also a guide which I immediately called bullshit on. She knew too much about too many things to be just another guide. She looked at me for a second before sighing and continuing.

"Fine, you seem to have guessed who I am so I might as well tell you."

I had no idea what she was talking about, I just didnt think she was another guide but I let her continue because I want to know who she is.

"I.....I am the god that chose you." She said while staring straight at the floor. Something is telling me that isnt the whole story.

"That isnt everything is it?"

She shook her head and closed her eyes. She looked like she was about to burst into tears but I had to know what she was hiding. She opened her watery eyes and looked directly into mine.

"I am your real mother."

I stared at her and she stared right back at me.

"You do realize that I am an elf right? And that you are not an elf?"

Even though I said this the look on her face didnt change. She was dead serious about what she had just said.

"I am a god, when I met your father and had you I...Was an elf."

This was rediculous. First I find out that im not just an elf, im a chosen of the gods demigod and I have a living world inside my chest. Now Im the direct descendant of a god. This is too much. I buried my face in my hands. Im sick of this, all this is starting to piss me off. I need an explination of what the hell I am and what the fuck is going on NOW.
